Starting
Make it a habit of giving the engine and engine room a visual check before starting. This will help you to discover
quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen.
Also check that instruments and warning displays show normal values after you have started the engine.
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an engine. This may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold. Risk
of personal injury.
