Stopping the engine
The engine should be run for a few minutes at idle (in neutral) before turning it off. This will avoid boiling and even
out the temperature. This is especially important if the engine has been operated at high engine speeds and loads.
Stopping
Turn the key to stop position
”S”. Keep key in this position until the
engine stops. The key will automatically spring back to the ”
0
” position
when it is released and can then be removed.
After stopping the engine
●
Inspect the engine and engine compartment for any leaks.
●
For boats with SX-drive: The drive must be trimmed in to its
maximum to protect the trim cylinders untreated surfaces from
fouling.
IMPORTANT!
If there is a risk that the drive can run aground, it
must instead be trimmed out to its maximum lift position.
●
Shut the fuel cock and the seacock (not standard on SX-drive).
IMPORTANT!
Do not forget to open the cocks before the engine
is started again.
●
Switch off the main switch if the boat is not to be used for some
time.
IMPORTANT!
Never break the circuit with the main switches while
the engine is running. This could damage the generator.
Emergency stop
If there is a malfunction in the engine’s electrical system and the
engine will not stop when the ignition key is used, an emergency engine
stop can be carried out using the lever on the injection pump. Twist the
lever (
1
) backwards until the engine stops.
WARNING!
Approaching or working on a running engine is
dangerous. Watch out for rotating components and hot surfaces.
