Check lamps
Each time the ignition is turned on, all lamps in the
alarm instrument are illuminated. Check that all lamps
light up and go out. If a lamp flashes a fault has been
registred, please refer to section

dling page 41
for further information and reco-
mended actions.

vated before the lamps can be checked.

Overheating protection
If the starter motor is engaged for its maximum activa-
tion time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit is cut
automatically to protect the starter motor from over-
heating. If possible, leave the starter motor to cool for
at least five minutes before making a new start attempt.
Read the instruments and warm the engine
up
Allow the engines to idle for the first ten seconds. Check
that instruments and warning displays show normal val-
ues. Check that no alarms are displayed and no warning
lamps are flashing. If an alarm is registred, please refer
to section
Fault Handling page 41
for further informa-
tion and recomended actions.
Warm the engine up at low speed and low load, so nor-
mal operating temperature is reached before full power
is used.
IMPORTANT!
Never race the engine when it is cold.
