Standard Control System
Starting procedure
1. Disengage the reverse gear and make sure the
turning gear is not engaged. Put the control lever
into neutral and idle on all control positions
WARNING! If the vessel is equipped with
controls that allow starting the engine in
gear, it is essential to check all control
positions to make sure a gear is not
engaged.
2. Turn on the power by putting the starter key in po-
sition “I”.
4. Start the engine. Start using the starting switch.
Turn the key to position “III”. Release the key so
that it returns to “I” immediately after the engine
has started.
IMPORTANT! If the starter motor has been
engaged for the maximum time (30
seconds), it must be allowed to cool down for
at least one minute before a new attempt is
made at starting.
NOTE! The key must first be turned to “S” before ma-
king a new attempt at starting.
5. Check the instruments and run the engine
warm. Let the engine idle for the first ten seconds
and make sure the instruments and warning dis-
play show normal values. Then run the engine at
low speed and low load so it attains normal opera-
ting temperature before using full power.
IMPORTANT! Do not race the engine when it
is cold.
3. Check warning lamps and alarms. Press the
“Alarm test” button on the instrument panel to
make sure the warning lamps come on and the
acoustic alarm sounds.
