DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MOORINGS IF
THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM IS NOT
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
REVERSALS OF DIRECTION SHOULD
BE MADE SLOWLY AND WITH
THE ENGINE AT MINIMUM SPEED.
OTHERWISE THE ENGINE, MARINE
GEAR AND PROPELLER COULD BE
DAMAGED.
THE STARTER MOTOR MUST NOT
BE OPERATED FOR MORE THAN
10 SECONDS AT A TIME. WAIT 2
MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
USE IT AGAIN, TO ALLOW IT TO COOL
DOWN.
AVOID WARMING UP THE ENGINE AT
MINIMUM SPEED FOR MORE THAN
3 TO 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A RISK
BOTH FOR THE ENGINE AND FOR THE
MARINE ENVIRONMENT.
IF NO OIL PRESSURE IS INDICATED
WITHIN 15 SECONDS OF STARTING
THE ENGINE, STOP IT AND TRACE
THE CAUSE.
The mechanical remote-control lever has a
system of metal cables, allowing both the
engine and marine gear to be controlled.
When the lever is moved, for the first part of its
travel it commands marine gear engagement,
and after this the engine throttle.
It is advisable to find the location of the
command cable terminals on the motor
and marine gear, and to check that they are
correctly secured every time that the oil level
is checked.

CAUTION
THE ENGINE MUST BE STARTED WITH
THE MARINE GEAR SECURELY IN
NEUTRAL AND THE THROTTLE SET
TO MINIMUM OR ONLY SLIGHTLY
HIGHER.
CAUTION
Remember that the normal values of these
parameters when the propulsion system is
running can also depend on external factors
such as temperature, clogging of filters and
the viscosity of lubricants.
Compass
Remember to have the compass compensation
correctly set, and to have it checked
periodically afterwards. Compass readings
can be influenced by the presence of magnetic
fields generated by metallic masses or
electrical circuits in the vicinity.
Avoid causing further interference by placing
other objects near the compass that could
disturb the magnetic field.
