10-2 Periodic DEWATERING SYSTEM Maintenance
The dewatering system consists of valves located in the Raider heads that can be opened
to insure water is purged between the pistons and the heads. When the valves are opened the
valves act like de-compression valves and the engine turns over very easy with pull start. It is
essential the user pulls slowly a minimum of 8 pulls to eliminate water prior to starting.
Maintenance includes spraying the valves with WD-40 after missions. Also check linkage to
insure nothing has been bent or has come loose.
10-3 Battery Maintenance
When stored for a period of time the battery connector should be disconnected. When being
prepared for missions the battery should be placed on a battery tender to insure it is fully
functional and fully charged.
Note: If the battery is functional, with minimal charge to start the Raider, pull start the motor
and the battery will automatically recharge.
10-4 GRAB RAIL Maintenance
Insure all the bolts are tight on the grab rail (4 bolts).
10-5 EMERGENCY KIT Maintenance
An emergency kit has been placed inside each Raider Outboard. Insure this kit is in place prior
to mission and all parts are in the BII. The Emergency Kit is housed in a waterproof/sealed
container.
