Nautique 2008 70141 manual Section

Section 6

When the engine starts, move the throttle lever back until the engine is running about 2,500 rpm or less. Check the gauges for normal readings and let the engine run for a minute to burn the excess fuel. If the gauge readings are abnormal, stop the engine and contact your Correct Craft Dealer. When the engine runs normally, check the engine for fuel, water and exhaust leaks. If there are leaks, stop the engine and correct them before you continue.

NOTICE

Read the “Notice to Dealer” located in your Skipper’s Kit. It contains pre-delivery checks and adjustments which must be performed by your Correct Craft dealer. It is still the boat owner’s responsibility to make sure they were performed. This will also help you become more familiar with your boat and its systems. If you have any questions regarding this notice, contact your Correct Craft dealer.

After your initial run:

•Check the engine oil level

•Check the transmission oil level

•Check for leaks (water, fuel and oil)

•Check that engine frame bolts and mounts are tight

•Check that throttle and shift control operates correctly

NOTICE

If the engine backfires when you try to start it, the problem may be more serious than flooding.

•DO NOT CONTINUE TRYING TO START THE ENGINE.

•CONTACT YOUR CORRECT CRAFT DEALER OR A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

DO NOT keep trying to start the engine under these conditions. Engine damage or personal injury can result.
