11. Turn the key switch to position “II” (“glow” posi-
tion) and hold it there for maximum 7 seconds.
Warm engine do not need pre-heating.
12. Turn the key to position “III” to start. Release the
key immediately once the engine has started* (it
will spring back automatically to the running
position). Reduce the engine speed to idle.
*NB. Do not run the starter motor for more than 20
sec. The key switch has a restart lock. Therefore, the
starting procedure must always begin from the “S”
position when repeated attempts are made to start
the engine.
WARNING! The starter motor must never be
switched on when the engine is running. The
starter motor and the flywheel ring gear may be
seriously damaged.
13. Warm up the engine at low speed and under low
load. Do not race the engine when it is cold.
14. Monitor the instruments/warning display during
operation. Stop the engine and check the cause
of any abnormal readings or if a warning light comes
on.
The engine must not be run if the oil pressure
is too low or the coolant temperature too high.
NB. For maximum fuel economy, avoid running on full
throttle. The maximum cruising speed is the maximum
speed reached minus approx. 300 r/min.
When under sail, the control lever should be in the
neutral position if the propeller is a fixed propeller. If
the propeller is a folding propeller, the control lever
should be in the reverse position. Start the engine and
run for five minutes every ten hours when on long-
distance cruises.
WARNING! Manoeuvring of the reverse gear/S-
drive should be done at idling speed. Manoeuv-
ring at higher engine speed can damage the
reverse gear/S-drive.
NB: Never switch off the power using the
main switch when the engine is running. If
you do, the voltage regulator and alternator may
be seriously damaged.
