WARNING

Before starting the propulsion units, ensure all personnel are clear of moving

components in the engine room, and that all divers are clear of the propellers.

Failure to comply could result in injury or death.

From the neutral position, pull the starboard propulsion control (1) away from the dome approximately 1/4

inch. Open throttle approximately 1/4 way by moving the starboard propulsion control forward. (The engine

throttle is connected to the governor speed control shaft through linkage. Movement of the speed control

shaft changes the speed setting of the governor and thus the engine speed.)

Depress the pushbutton (2) labeled START STBD ENG on the control and distribution panel. Release button

promptly when engine starts.
