Starting the engine
Make a habit of checking the engine and engine compartment visually before operating the boat. This will help you
to quickly detect anything unusual that has or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and the warning
display are indicating normal values when you have started the engine.
Before starting
● Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
● Open fuel cock.
● Check that there are no fuel, engine coolant or oil leaks.
● Check oil and engine coolant levels in the engine. See chapter:
Maintenance.
● Switch on the main switch.
IMPORTANT! Never break the circuit with the main switch while
the engine is running. This could damage the generator.
● Start the engine compartment fan if one is fitted and let it run for at
least four minutes.
● Check that there is sufficient fuel.
● Push in the stop control.
Starting. Instrument panel with ignition lock
WARNING! Never use start spray or similar to start the engine.
