Specifications

Cooling and Lubrication Systems
Engine fluids must be inspected and levels adjusted
prior to startup. Add engine oil, if needed, to ensure
that the engine has adequate oil. See check and fill
locations at right.
Fresh water coolant (50% anti-freeze, 50% fresh water)
is filled to the bottom of the overflow tube on the
coolant reservoir. If watermaker option is installed, be
sure the Cat Pump has adequate oil (to the top of the
window's inner ring). See photo at right.
Fuel System
Ensure that primary fuel supply is connected to the fuel
inlet connection at the fuel pump. Disconnect the fuel
return line located at the top of the fuel filter assembly.
Pump the small mechanical fuel lever located beneath
the fuel pump (see photo) until fuel appears at return
hose. Reinstall and secure the fuel return line once the
system is properly primed.
System Control Panel
Turn the key switch at the control panel to the ON
position. System voltage should be displayed on panel.
Red alarm light should be illuminated.
Toggle Speed Control
With key in its ON position, toggle speed control switch up
or down to increase or decrease engine rpm. Verify movement of engine throttle lever when
speed control is activated.
Regulator Programming
The Max Charge MC-612/MC-624 regulator included with your genset is factory preset to
a Universal Factory Program, which is safe for most types of marine batteries. Should you
choose to program the regulator for your specific battery type, refer to the regulator
operation manual included in your DC genset documentation package. If battery
temperature sensing is desired, connect the sensing lug to the negative battery post
closest to the center of your battery bank.
Starting the Engine
Hold key in glow plug position for approximately 15 seconds, and then attempt to start the
engine. If the engine does not start immediately, check for fuel leaks, as most common
problem occurs from air being drawn into new fuel system lines. When engine starts,
immediately check the following:
1.
Verify that coolant water is being discharged from exhaust.
2.
If water is not observed, verify valve openings to raw water.
3.
Ensure that Jabsco raw water pump is not getting hot by putting hand on bronze face
plate.
