Nautique 230 - Manual (Page 190)

6-12
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 Nautique 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 Nautique 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 Nautique
dealer.
After your initial run:
• Check the engine oil level
• Check the transmission oil level
• Check the V-Drive 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 NAUTIQUE 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.
