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 happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and
warning displays show normal values when you have started the engine.
To minimize
cold start smoke we recommend the installation of an engine heater or engine bay heater if temper-
atures 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.
Danger of personal injury.
Before Starting
•
Check the engine and drive units oil level.
•
Check the coolant level.
•
Open the sea cock.
•
Open the fuel cock.
•
Turn the main switches on.
IMPORTANT!
Never
disconnect the current with the main switches
when the engine is running. The alternator and elec-
tronics could be damaged.
•
Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it to
run for at least four minutes.
•
Check there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.
