C8.3 Commercial Marine and Ind [...] Normal Starting Procedure Section 1 - Operating Instructions Page 1-7 After starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed (rpm) slowly to provide adequate lubrication to the bearings and to allow the oil pressure to stabilize. Marine Applications CAUTION To reduce the possibility of damage to the starting motor, do not engage the starting motor for more than 30 seconds. Wait 2 minutes between each attempt to start (electrical starting motors only). NOTE: There is a separate keyswitch wired to the primary panel. It will be installed in the helm at the boat manufacturer's or installer's desired location.
The keyswitch must be in the ON or RUN position to crank- start the engine. Disengage the drive unit.
