Emergency starting procedures
If the starter does not operate, the engine may be started with
an emergency starter rope.
Carry out the following operations:
Remove the cowling; place the gear-shift lever in the neutral
position “N ", and the throttle-grip in the start position and
check the installation of the lock-plate on the engine stop
switch. Remove the screws blocking the starter and removing
it (it is also necessary to detach the block start system with
inserted gear).
Insert the knotted end of the emergency starter rope into the
notch in the flywheel rotor, wind the rope two turns clockwise,
and then pull strongly to start. Repeat if necessary.
When starting the engine with the emergency starter
rope, it is very important to make sure that nothing
can get entangled in the engine. A rotating flywheel
is very dangerous. never try to replace the top
cowling when the engine is running. Proceed at
once to the nearest port to get the engine repaired.
Take care to prevent water splashing onto the
flywheel.
While the emergency start, the starter block with
inserted gear is disabled. Before to start the engine,
make sure that the invester is in postition “N”.
RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE
A SELVA outboard motor is tested completely in our workshop
and it is partially run in a tank.
A second test is done by the
dealer. It is always advisable to complete the running-in procedure in
the following way:
.
During the first hour let the motor run at 2000 rpm
maximum (or at half acceleration).
During the second hour maintain it at 3000 rpm and
accellerate at max speed for 1 minute max each 10
min.
After this operation use the motor in a normal way.
After 10 hours change the motor oil. After 20 hours
change the gear oil (see the lubrification paragraph).
A good running-in will allow you to obtain a good
performance from your motor and a longer
endurance of it.
