CRUISING
Responsibility during the navigation.
The operator is responsible for the proper running of the boat and for the
safety of the people on board.
Everybody must read this manual before cruising. Show all the
passengers the location of the safety equipment and the way to use it.
Teach one of your passengers, how to pilot the boating an emergency.
Familiarise yourself with the laws and regulations in force where you want
to sail.
Tilt-up the motor
To tilt up the motor do as follows:
Switch off the engine. Unlock the free-lock lever. Tilt the engine up using
the proper handle. Push downwards the tilt-up lever.
To bring it back to the cruising position, you just have to tilt up slightly the
engine, unlock the tilt-up lever pushing it upwards, and bring the motor
back to the vertical position, so that it leans on the adjustment pin; set the
free-lock lever to the lock position;
Picture No. 51.
Start-in-gear protection device
This feature permits the engine to be started only when it is in Neutral.
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
concessionaire.
Switch always 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.
