Operation
Before starting
1. Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
2. Check that all the drain cocks are closed and all
the drain plugs are fitted.
For location of cocks/plugs see illustrations on
page 24.
3. Open the fuel cocks.
4. Check that no fuel, water or oil is leaking out.
5. Check the coolant level. The level should reach the
lower edge of the filler pipe. See page 55 for
topping up instructions
Note! Do NOT open the pressure cap on a
hot engine. Steam or hot coolant can
spray out and the system pressure will be
lost.
6. Check the engine oil level. This should be within
the area marked on the dipstick.
The oil level must never be below the MIN mark
on the stick.
7. Check the oil in the reverse gear.
Note Since the marks on the dipstick apply for
operating temperature (with the engine idling and
the control in neutral), the correct level before
starting must be judged by experience.
