Starting the engine
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a visual check before starting. This will help you to discover
quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and warning dis-
plays show normal values after you have started the engine.
To minimize starting smoke in cold starting, we recommend that a heater should be installed to warm the engine
bay at temperatures below +5°C.
WARNING! Never use start spray or similar products as a starting aid. Explosion risk!
General information about starting
The engine control lever must always be in neutral be-
fore starting. The engine management system ensures
that the engine receives the correct amount of fuel
-
even when the engine is cold.
The idling speed is also governed by engine tempera-
ture, and is somewhat raised after a cold start.
Before starting
●
Open the fuel tap
●
Open the seawater intake.
● Do the tasks under the “Daily before first start”
heading in the maintenance schedule.
●
Turn on the main switches.
IMPORTANT! Never disconnect the current with
the main switches on when the engine is running.
This can damage the alternator.
●
Start the engine bay fan, if one is installed, and let
it run for at least four minutes.
●
Check that the amount of fuel aboard is enough for
your planned voyage.
●
Check the oil level.
●
Lower the drive(s), if raised.
