In case of emergency
Despite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation, faults may occur
which must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter contains tips for rectifying some of the
possible faults.
There are safety functions which are activated when certain faults occur, to protect the engine. The following can
occur:
● Engine can not be started
● Gear in neutral and engine speed is limited to 1500 rpm, no steering.
● The engine stops
If fault occurs, acknowlege any alarm and take the recommended measures. Please refer to this chapter and the
“Fault register” chapter.
Starting with auxiliary batteries
WARNING! Ventilate well. Batteries contain and
give off an explosive gas which is highly flamma-
ble and explosive. A short circuit, open flame or
spark could cause a violent explosion.
WARNING! Never mix the positive and negative
poles on the batteries. Risk of arcing and explo-
sion.
1. Check that the rated voltage of the help start bat-
tery is the same as the system voltage of the en-
gine.
2. Connect the red jumper cable to the positive pole
(+) of the flat battery, and then to the positive pole
of the help start battery.
3. Connect the black jumper cable to the negative
pole (–) of the help start battery, and then to a
place some distance from the flat batteries, such
as the negative connection on the starter motor.
WARNING! Under no circumstances may
the black jumper cable (–) come into contact
with the positive connection on the starter
motor.
4. Start the engine and run at a fast idle for about ten
minutes to charge the batteries. Make sure that
there are no extra accessories connected to the
electrical system.
WARNING! Working with, or going close to a
running engine is a safety risk. Watch out for ro-
tating components and hot surfaces.
WARNING! Do not touch the connections dur-
ing the start attempt: Risk of arcing. Do not stand
bending over any of the batteries either.
5. Stop the engine. Remove the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from installation.
