  Stop engine if any abnormal noises are detected. 

  Visually  check  the  engine  for  oil,  fuel  and  coolant  leaks,  after  initial  start-up  and  at 

regular intervals. Note: Engine must be stopped to carry out this check). 

3.   Stopping Procedure 

  Move speed control lever to idle position. 

  Turn key to off position. 

4.   Full Load Running 

  Running diesel engines near there rated output (maximum load) regularly will disperse 

accumulated  carbon  and  condensation,  enhancing  engine  life  and  reducing 

emissions. 

5.  Refuelling 

 

 

WARNING: 

DIESEL FUEL IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. 

 

 

WARNING: 

DIESEL FUEL IS HARMFUL TO SKIN. MAKE SURE THE RELEVANT PERSONAL 

PROTECTION EQUIPMENT IS WORN. 

 

  All Shire boat engines run on diesel fuel. 

  Please note that when the vessel is to be left for any period of time, the fuel tank should 

be left full to eliminate the build-up of condensation and formation of water in the fuel 

tank. 

  Engine to be turned off while refuelling 

  The fuel type for all Shire boat engines is diesel. 

DO NOT USE BIODIESEL.

 

6.  Diesel Fuel Additive 

The use of diesel fuel additive is strongly recommended on Shire engines.  The quality of the 

fuel available when cruising is often unknown.  Also the fuel may have been in storage for 

long periods of time.  The use of additives will ensure that your engine fuel injection system 

is in top condition which should result in many years of smooth reliable operation, without the 

cost and inconvenience of expensive breakdowns due to poor quality fuel.  It has also been
