S06 STARTING & RUNNING
RUNNING
WHILE RUNNING
NOTE!
Never press the START button while the engine is running.
The starter solenoid would engage the pinion and start
the starter, against the already moving flywheel. This ac-
tion will destroy the starter.
Check the alarm lights after starting and regularly while
navigating.
FUNCTIONAL ANOMALIES
Stop the engine of the unit (if possible), if there are signs
of trouble. Symptoms that may be early signs of engine
problems include:
• Sudden drop in oil pressure
• Abnormal coolant temperature
• Unusual noise or vibration
• Sudden loss of power
• Excessive black exhaust fumes
• Excessive fuel consumption
• Abnormal oil consumption
• Fluid leaks...
If it is not possible to stop the generator during navigation
or to repair it, try to reduce the load delivered by the gen-
erator and check the whole system once back in port. If
necessary, consult your local Nanni representative.
AFTER RUNNING
HOW TO STOP THE GENSET
CAUTION!
Never shut down the generator set using an “Emergen-
cy Stop” type device on the boat. This could damage the
electrical system.
Turn off all devices powered by the generator set, turn the
starting key on the generator set panel counterclockwise:
the engine will stop and all indicators will go out.
AFTER GENSET STOP
CAUTION!
After the generator set is shut down, some components
and fluids remain hot and pressurized for several min-
utes. If possible, limit work on the engine immediately
after it has stopped. Let it cool down first.
After engine stop:
1. Close the through-hull to prevent the engine from fill -
ing with raw water.
2. Close the fuel valve.
3. 3. Inspect the generator set for leaks.
