Starting
Make a habit of visually checking the engine, engine bay and transmission before start. This will help you to
discover quickly if anything abnormal has occurred, or is about to occur. Also check that instruments and warning
displays show normal values when you have started the engine.
To minimize cold start smoke we recommend you install an engine heater or engine bay heater if temperatures
below +5°C (41°F) are encountered.
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.
Before Starting
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level.
Open the sea cock, where fitted.
Open the fuel cock.
Turn the main switches on.
IMPORTANT:
Never disconnect the current using the main
switches when the engine is running or by
disconnecting the battery cables.
The alternator and electronics could be damaged.
Unlock the EVC system with the e-Key.
Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it to
run for at least four minutes.
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.
Lower the sterndrive if it is up.
