3.6 Cranking
When the engine is being used for the first time or if it has not been used for a long period of time, perform
cranking before starting to distribute oil to all of the parts. Using an engine which has been stored for a long
period of time without the cranking procedure may result in engine seizure, since there will no longer be oil on
the moving parts after storage.
1. Open Kingston cock.
2. Cut off all clutches and the main switch, making sure
that all auxiliary machines are in a no-load position.
3. Put marine gear in
NEUTRAL
4. Crank the engine.
Push the stop button to stop fuel injection while crawl-
ing.
1) Put the key into the starter switch.
2) While pushing the stop button, turn the key to the
START
position and hold it there. The engine will
begin turning. If you remove your hand from the
stop button, the engine will start. Do not take your
hand off the button.
5. Continue cranking the engine for about 5 seconds,
checking for abnormal sounds.
6. Return the key to the OFF position. The engine will
stop.
3.7 Checking the Lube Oil and Cooling Water
When engine lube oil, marine gear lube oil, and cooling water are put in for the first time, or after they have
been replaced, their levels should be checked after a trial operation. Oil and water will be distributed to the
various parts during the operation, lowering the levels of oil and water. Replenish to the proper amounts.
