Operation
Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on your
maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a risk that
passengers could fall over, or overboard.
WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check that there is nobody in the water before you
engage forward / aft drive. Never drive close to bathers or in areas where you could reasonably expect that
people could be in the water.
Reading the instruments
Read all instruments and alarm displays directly after star-
ting, and then regularly during your voyage.
Oil pressure
The oil pressure gauge should normally indicate between 4-
5.5 bar. It will indicate a somewhat lower value when idling.
If the oil pressure is too low, the audible warning will sound
automatically at the same time as the lamp in the warning
display will flash.
Coolant temperature
The temperature gauge should normally indicate between
75– 95°C (167-203°F) in normal operation.
If the coolant temperature is too low, the audible warning
will sound automatically at the same time as the lamp in
the warning display will flash.
Charging
During operation, system voltage should be about 28 V for
24 Volt system voltage.
If there is a charge failure, the audible warning will sound
automatically at the same time as the lamp in the warning
display will flash.
Alarm
If a fault occurs, the audible warning will sound and the re-
levant warning lamp on the alarm panel will start to flash.
The diagnostic button LED will also flash rapidly
Reduce engine speed to idling. Press the button to acknow-
ledge the message. The audible warning will become silent
and the alarm panel will stop flashing. The relevant warning
lamp gives a constant light.
Please refer to the “If something happens” chapter, and you
will find detailed information about recommended action in
the “Diagnostic function” section.
The fault will also be stored in the form of a fault code for
as long as the malfunction remains. It is possible to read
the fault code during a subsequent service.
