Start the engines before performing the fol- 1
lowing checks. NOTICE: Do not run the en-
gines over 4000 r/min on land. Also, do not
run the engines for more than 15 seconds
without supplying water, otherwise, the
engines could overheat and/or seize.

are moved farther forward. Operate the throttle/shift paddles several
times to make sure that operation is smooth
throughout the whole range. Also, make sure
that the throttle/shift paddles return automat-
ically to their original positions when re-
leased.
