Owner`s manual

-CAUTION-
FRESH WATER COOLING SYSTEM: ALL MODELS EXCEPT M-15.
THIS SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED SLOWLY WITH A SOISO BLEND OF WATER AND A GOOD
GRADE
OF PREMIUM ANTIFREEZE. (THE COOLANT BLEND MAY CHANGE, BASED ON
CLIMATIC CONDITION IN
YOUR AREA.) OR YOU MAY ALSO USE CLEAN FRESH WATER WITH
AN ANTI RUST INHIBITOR. DO NOT USE PURE ANTIFREEZE. AFTER ENGINE HAS REACHED
OPERATING
TEMPERATURE IT MAY REQUIRE ADDING MORE COOLANT AS THE AIR IS
PURGED FROM THE SYSTEM. IF ENGINE OVERHEATS, RECHECK LEVEL, IF HOT WATER
HEATER IS INSTALLED, ALL AIR MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE LINES AND SYSTEM TO
PREVENT OVERHEATING USUALLY BY MEANS OF AN ADDED BLEED VALVE IN HEATER LINE
OR EXPANSION TANK IN THE SYSTEM.
COOLING SYSTEM: Model
15
THE M-15
WHICH IS COOLED DIRECTLY BY SEA WATER, USES A RECIRCULATING SYSTEM
WHICH DISCHARGES
THE WATER AND VAPOR OVERBOARD WITH THE EXHAUST GASES.
EXHAUST SYSTEM:
IT SHOULD BE INSTALLED WITHOUT SHARP BENDS AND SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO DRAIN
ANY WATER AWAY FROM THE ENGINE. THE WATER INLET TO EXHAUST LINE MUST BE
LOCATED TO PREVENT WATER FROM BACKING UP INTO THE ENGINE.lF A WATER-LIFT
"CAN" TYPE MUFFLER IS USED, BE SURE IT IS LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD APPROXIMATE-
LY 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT MAY BE IN THE LINES WHEN THE ENGINE IS
SHUT
DOWN SO THAT WATER WON'T BACK UP INTO THE ENGINE.
CAUTION
PROLONGED CRANKING
OF THE ENGINE WITH FAILURE TO START CAN FILL THE EX-
HAUST SYSTEM WITH SEA WATER CAUSING IT TO BACK UP INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING
SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE WHEN CRANKING IS STOPPED.
CHECK
COMPLETE SYSTEM AT LEAST MONTHLY FOR LEAKS.
STARTING & STOPPING ENGINE:
BE SURE TO CAREFULLY READ INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO START AND STOP YOUR
ENGINE
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.
FUEL SUPPLY:
DO NOT
RUN ENGINE OUT OF FUEL OR RE-BLEEDIN.G OF YOUR FUEL SYSTEM WILL BE
REQUIRED.
FUEL MUST BE FREE OF ANY MOISTURE OR IMPURITIES. CHECK CAREFULLY. MOISTURE
CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE PUMP AND NOZZLES. AN ADDITIVE SHOULD BE USED AS
BACTERIA GROWTH CAN PREVENT GOOD RUNNING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE ENGINE
TO RUN ERRATIC OR LOSE POWER.
STARTING MOTOR:
CRANK
THE ENGINE FOR ONLY 10 SECONDS AND PAUSE FOR 10 SECONDS. REPEAT UNTIL
ENGINE
STARTS. NEVER CRANK ENGINE LONGER THAN 20 SECONDS WITHOUT A PAUSE
TO PERMIT STARTER TO COOL DOWN. USE OF GLOW PLUGS WILL AID IN STARTING,
REDUCE CRANKING TIME
AND INCREASE BATTERY LIFE. ENGINE SOLD AFTER EARLY 1983
REQUIRES GLOW PLUG BUTTON TO BE ENGAGED IN ORDER FOR STARTER BUTTON TO
ENERGIZE STARTER.
