Engine Start-up
IMPORTANT: Always be very careful when
starting your engines. Use common sense and
good judgement. Turn OFF the engine(s) im-
mediately if you observe any unsafe operating
condition.
The below listed procedures should be followed
when starting your engines:
Operate the bilge blower motors for
fi
ve (5)
minutes before starting your engines.
Place shift control levers in the neutral posi-
tion.
Place throttle control levers in the “down”
position.
Turn ignition switch to ON, but not to
START. Be certain the engine oil pressure
alarm sounds and the Automatic Fire Extin-
guisher System indicator light is ON.
Turn ignition switch to ST ART and hold
until the engine starts. Release the ignition
switch immediately after the engine starts.
If the starter motor does not operate when
you turn the ignition switch to ST ART, the
neutral safety switch may be out of adjust-
ment. Carefully move the shift control lever
up and down slowly until the starter motor
operates. Have a competent technician
adjust the neutral safety switch as soon as
possible.
If the engine fails to start
within thirty (30) seconds, release the ignition
switch. Allow the starter motor to cool for at
least sixty (60) seconds and then try again to
start the engine. Prolonged starting attempts
may result in starter motor overheating and
damage.

Failure to release the ignition
switch fr om the ST ART position after the
engine starts may result in serious damage to
the starter motor and/or engine
fl
ywheel.
If one of the batteries is not suf
fi
ciently
charged to start the engine, start the engine
with the fully char ged battery
fi
rst. Start
the other engine using the “Parallel Start”
switch, which draws power from both bat-
teries. Release the parallel start switch im-
mediately after the engine starts.
DO NOT continue to depress
the “Parallel Start Switch” after the engine
has started. Damage to the alternator(s) may
result.
Be certain the oil pressure is between 30
and 50 psi (gasoline engines) or 35 and 70
psi (diesel engines). If the oil pressure is
low, turn OFF the respective engine im-
mediately.
Allow the engines to operate at the recom-
mended RPM’s as speci
fi
ed in the Engine
Manual until they reach normal operating
temperature. Normal operating tempera-
ture for gasoline engines equipped with a
fresh water cooling system is 170
°
F and if
equipped with a raw water cooling system,
140
°
F. Normal operating temperature for
diesel engines is between 170
°
F and 190
°
F.
Check for water dischar ging from the ex-
haust outlets. The presence of water indi-
cates water circulation in the exhaust cooling
system. Water should discharge through the
exhaust outlets immediately after the engine
starts.
