Operation
Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on your
maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a risk that
passengers could fall over, or overboard.
WARNING ! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check that there is nobody in the water before you
engaging ahead or astern. Never drive close to bathers or in areas where you could reasonably expect that
people could be in the water.
Reading the instruments
Read all instruments and alarm displays directly after
starting, and then regularly during your voyage.
All the reading on the analogue instruments are also
available in the Menu system on the LCD display.
Coolant temperature (optional)
The temperature gauge should normally indicate be-
tween 75– 100°C (167-212°F) in normal operation.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the audible
warning will sound automatically at the same time as
the lamp in the warning display will flash.
Charging (optional)
During operation, system voltage should be about
14V. During warming of the engine the voltage is
slightly higher.
If there is a charge failure the lamp in the warning dis-
play will flash.
