Starting the engine
Put the handle in neutral before starting the engine to prevent movement of the vessel and/or the
rotation of the propeller.
A brief inspection of the propeller attachment during subsequent watering can be carried out. A
malfunction of the propeller generates vibrations.
If using the anodes, they must be made of zinc. Those in magnesium must be avoided. The systems
of cathodic protection by forced current are to be avoided.
If the anodes are not altered, you must check:
-that they are not painted,
-that they are properly fixed and in contact with the hull,
-that they are well zinc
DANGER !
Combustion engines produce carbon monoxide. Prolonged exposure to exhaust gases can result
in serious sequelae or death.
DANGER !
The engine must not be turned on when bathers are operating near the boat in order to avoid any
risk of serious damage by the propeller.
If possible, the engine must be stationary for any maintenance or control operation. Otherwise,
special vigilance must be carried out to the moving parts (propeller shafts, belts, etc.) in order to
avoid any risk of injury.
General information about starting
The handle must always be in the neutral position before start. The engine control system ensures
that the engine receives the correct amount of fuel, even when the engine is cold. The colder the
engine is, the more revolutions the engine is cranked. This increases the temperature in the
combustion chambers, which guarantees a safe start and reduces starting smoke. Idle speed is also
controlled by engine temperature and is somewhat higher after a cold start.
