WARNING
Ensure that all personnel are clear of rotating components. Use extreme caution when
working around rotating components. Do not allow hands or tools to come in contact
with rotating components. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything else that
might become entangled in rotating components. Failure to comply can result in dam-
aged equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
2.
From the neutral position, pull the starboard propulsion control (1) away from the dome approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm).
This movement enables the operator to control engine speed while leaving the marine transmission in NEUTRAL. Open
the throttle approximately 1/4 way by moving the starboard propulsion control forward.
3.
Press the pushbutton (2) labelled STBD ENGINE START on the pilothouse console. Release the pushbutton promptly
when the engine starts.
4.
If the cranking of the engine depletes the accumulator pressure before starting, CLOSE the accumulator shutoff valve on
the accumulator in use and OPEN the accumulator shutoff valve on the standby accumulator (refer to WP 0022 00).
