Overheat warning system
The engine is provided with an overheat warning
device Before the engine becomes too hot, the engine speed
fall suddenly (as a matter of fact this device leaves out the
connection of a ignition-coil).
If the overheat warning system operates, proceed as follows: Check that
water runs out of the pilot hole. If OK, keep the engine at low speed for
about five minutes. Then avoid overloading the engine. If no water or just a
little runs out from the pilot hole, stop the engine, tilt it up, as shown in this
manual and check the water inlets for blockages. If blocked, you must
clean them, bring the motor back to the home position and start it and run
it at low speed for about five minutes; check that water runs out of the pilot
hole.
If after having done all this, you start the engine and no water runs out of
the pilot hole, stop immediately the motor and contact a SELVA MARINE
dealer.
Always switch the engine off, before tilting it up.
Once you have brought the motor back to the cruising position,
lock the free-lock lever, before starting sailing again.
Do not keep the engine running, if no water runs out of the pilot
hole.
