6. Turn the key switch to START
(Figure 1, (4)). Release the key switch
when the engine has started. NOTICE:
NEVER hold the key in the START
position for longer than 15 seconds
or the starter motor will overheat.
7. The alarm should stop and the
indicators should go out. NOTICE: If
any indicator fails to illuminate
when the key switch is in the ON
position, see your authorized
Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor
for service before operating the
engine.
Note: When the engine has not been used
for a long period of time, check that the key
can move from the START position to the
ON position smoothly.
Starting at Low Temperatures
Comply with local environmental
requirements. Use air heaters (if equipped)
to avoid starting problems and white smoke.
NOTICE: NEVER use an engine starting
aid such as ether. Engine damage will
result.
To limit white smoke, run the engine at low
speed and under moderate load until the
engine reaches normal operating
temperature. A light load on a cold engine
provides better combustion and faster
engine warm-up than no load.
Avoid running the engine at idling speed any
longer than necessary.
Starting with Air Heater (If
Equipped)
1. Open the seacock (if equipped).
2. Open the fuel cock.
3. Put remote control handle in
NEUTRAL.
4. Turn the battery master switch (if
equipped) ON.
