SPECIAL NOTE

    Damage due to rust is not covered by guarantee. The deck above the engine should

. An engine should be wiped down with oil

once a week.

    *CAUTION.--Before starting a new engine or an engine which has been standing
for some time, make sure that (a) crankcase and reverse gear case contain lubricating
oil; (b) governor case is filled with diesel fuel ; (c) fuel pump and pipes are free of air

(36)

(d) points shown on oiling diagram are attended to; (e) oil is splashed by hand

    NOTE.--THESE INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO ENGINES PROPERLY
INSTALLED IN VESSELS WHICH OPERATE IN NORMAL WATERS. IN DIRTY
WATERS WHERE SAND, SEAWEED, JELLYFISH OR REFUSE MAY FOUL THE
COOLING SYSTEM, SPECIAL CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO KEEP THE WATER
INLET CLEAR AND THE WATER PASSAGES IN THE ENGINE MUST BE
FREQUENTLY AND REGULARLY CLEANED OUT. EVEN A TEMPORARY
STOPPAGE OF THE COOLING WATER MAY CAUSE OVERHEATING AND
SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE.

    1. WHILE it is not necessary to read this instruction book right through, it is
essential before starting a new engine to read those paragraphs marked thus, *. In
order to avoid repetition, a system of cross-references is used: a symbol "(35) " in the
instruction means "here refer to paragraph 35." No subsequent adjustment or repair to
the engine should be carried out without reference to this book. Any advice we can
give is at your service whether you are the original purchaser of the engine or not.
When writing, do not omit to quote the number of the engine stamped on the
nameplate, and which should be filled in above.

*2. TOOL BOXES.--A box of tools accompanies each engine. It is closed with a lead
seal, and, if delivered with the seal broken, its contents should be checked with the list
to be found in the engine catalogue. Provide a convenient dry place for the tool box,
