Normal Starting Procedure C8.3 Industrial Page 1-4 Section 1 - Operating Instructions 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 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.
CAUTION Disengage the drive unit. Turn the key switch to the ON or RUN position. When the key is in this position, the WAIT TO START lamp will be illuminated for a maximum of 20 seconds. The engine should not be cranked until the WAIT TO START lamp shuts off. NOTE: The controller is reset each time the ignition is turned off and the cycle will start over. When the WAIT TO START lamp goes out, the preheat cycle is complete.
