Operation
Synchronizing the engine speed
When driving with twin engines, both the operating econo-
my and comfort can be increased if the engines are oper-
ating at the same engine speed (RPM).
If the synchronization function is activated, the engine
speed (RPM) of the starboard engine is automatically ad-
justed to that of the port engine if:
1. The engine speed levers for both engine are in (ap-
proximately) the same position.
2. The engine speed on both engines exceed 800 rpm.
3. The engine speed on neither engine exceeds 2500
rpm.
NOTE! The synchronizer is disengaged as soon as the
conditions are no longer met.
The synchronization function is automatically activated at
start. However the function can also be engaged and dis-
engaged by pressing the synchronization button for at
least one second.
Changing control position
For reasons of safety, the engine can only be changed to
the new control position if the control lever(s) are in neutral
in both the control position that was left and the new con-
trol position.
WARNING! Ensure that the control lever(s) are in
neutral before transferring to the new control position.
1. Set the control lever(s) to neutral at the control position
you are about to leave.
2. Set the control lever(s) to neutral at the new control
position.
3. Activate the control position by pressing the activation
button for at least one second.
