Water in the fuel pre-filter
It is a good rule to drain the water from the filters, before the relevant
indicator comes on.
Avoid using the engine with the fuel tank only a small reserve of fuel; this
encourages the formation of condensation and makes it more likely you
will suck up dirt or air, resulting in engine stoppage.
Air filter blocked and exhaust circuit inefficient
Inspect the cleanliness of the air intakes and discharge pipes on a regular
basis. The maintenance intervals indicated in this manual only take into
account the performance of engine components, and not any additional
fittings installed by the Boatbuilder and any external events.
Alternator malfunction
Check it or have it checked periodically for cleanliness, wear and proper
tensioning of the drive belt.
Irregularities in the electrical system
Periodically check, particularly during the winter, to ensure that the
batteries are clean and in full working order, checking and topping up as
indicated in the section CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE, always
taking due note of the WARNINGS provided. If it should be necessary
to replace them, always comply with the characteristics indicated in the
section ENGINE TECHNICAL DATA.
RUNNING IN
Thanks to modern engine construction technology, no particular running
in procedure is required. However, it is recommended that, for the first
50 hours, you do not use the engine at high power for long periods.
CAUTION!
When refuelling, always pay great care to ensure that
no solid or liquid pollutants enter the fuel tank; you
must also remember that smoking and live flames are
prohibited when refuelling.
CAUTION!
Visually check that the exhaust circuit is not blocked or
damaged, so as to prevent dangerous fumes within the
vessel.
CAUTION!
The drive members are located under protective
casings. These must only be removed when the engine
is not turning.
