Engine Shutdown
Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few minutes after operations are completed. In this way after-
boiling is avoided at the same time as temperature equalization takes place. This is especially important when
the engine has been run under heavy load at high rpm .
Stop the Engine
Press the Stop button (3) until the engine stops run-
ning.
Press the On/Off button (1) to cut the power to the sys-
tem.
If the engine is stopped and the ignition still turned on,
an alarm sounds after 10 seconds to prevent the igni-
tion is left on unintentionally and the battery will
become discharged.
Silence the alarm by turning the ignition off, or reset
the alarm with the multifunction button (2) if the ignition
is to be turned on.
Auxiliary stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure,
it is possible to stop the engine via the auxiliary stop
mounted on the side of the engine.
After Engine Shutdown
•
Check the engine and engine bay for leakages.
•
Close the fuel tap.
•
Close the sea cock where fitted.
•
Take an hour meter reading and carry out preven-
tive maintenance according to the maintenance
schedule.
•
Turn off the main switch before any long stoppage.
