Pre-Start Inspection And Procedures
1. Make a "walk-around" inspection of the engine and components for the oil, water or fuel leaks and general appearance. Correct minor adjustments before they develop into major repair jobs.2. Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level between the ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick. See OIL SPECIFICATIONS for type of oil to use. 3. Check oil level(s) on driven equipment.
Check the engine coolant level when the engine is cool. If the engine is warm, steam may spray outward under high pressure and cause personal injury.
4. Check the engine jacket coolant level. Slowly turn the pressure cap until the cap is removed. Maintain coolant level to the base of the fill pipe. 5. Check the fuel supply. Keep fuel tanks full, as partially filled tanks will collect moisture. See the FUEL SPECIFICATIONS for type of fuel.Keep The Fuel Supply Clean
6. Open the raw water valve on the engine jacket heat exchanger system (if so equipped). Prime the raw water pump if the raw water system has been drained.7. Reset shutoff devices. See the topic, ATTACHMENTS, Emergency Shutoff Devices and Alarms.
