Propulsion Engine Starting (continued)
WARNING
Ensure all personnel are clear of moving components. Use extreme caution when work-
ing around rotating components. Do not allow hands or tools to come in contact rotat-
ing components. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything else that might be-
come entangled with rotating components. Failure to comply can result in damaged
equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
3.
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.
WARNING
Starting fluid presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates, even at
low temperatures, and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explo-
sive violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources
such as open flame, welding equipment, and electric motors and switches. Do not use
starting fluid near heat, sparks, or open flames. Failure to comply could result in injury
or death.
Starting fluid is toxic if inhaled in large doses and is an irritant to eyes and skin. Do not
breathe vapor or fumes. Do not taste or swallow. Ensure that starting fluid is used only
in spaces with sufficient ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Failure
to comply could result in injury or death.
! CAUTION
Do not overuse starting fluid. Overloading the engine with starting fluid or using
starting fluid with a warm engine can cause serious internal engine damage.
4.
Signal the coxswain to start the engine from the pilothouse by pushing the START button (2) on the console.
5.
Spray a 1 to 2-second burst of starting fluid into the engine air intake while the engine is cranking.
6.
Follow the remainder of the propulsion engine starting procedure detailed in steps 4-6 of Propulsion Engine Starting
procedure in WP 0023 00. If repeated starting attempts are necessary, repeat steps 4 and 5 above.
