Startup procedure
1. Turn the switch to 1 ENGINE ROOM. The START-STOP (2) push
button nearby is enabled; this action disables any function of
on board panels located on the bridge.
2. Press the 2 push button to START position and release it until
startup is obtained.
3. To speed down: press and hold the 2 button in the START position
until the required speed is reached, then release; if repeated action
toggles speed up and speed down. The speed reached at each
change will be maintained until the next change or the engine stop.
Stop procedure
1. Press the 2 push button to STOP position until the engine is
completely stopped.
2. Bring the switch 1 back to BRIDGE position to allow for the use of
controls located on the on board bridge panels and to inhibit the
use of the START-STOP button of the "Relay box".
FOR A CORRECT USE OF THE ENGINE
Do not extend the startup control when the engine is started.
Do not remain at the quay to wait for engine warm-up. After
startup slowly start navigation. The correct operating temperatures
are reached with the engine running at medium power.
Do not proceed too long at slow speed as it enhances the
production of harmful engine emissions and does not guarantee its
better performance.
Engine speed-up and speed-down should be performed gradually
in order to allow a regular combustion and a better performance
of all engine organs.
Cruising maximum speed should not exceed 90% of maximum
power (see ENGINE TECHNICAL DATA).
During navigation check that:
• Engine coolant temperature does not reach alarm thresholds.
• Oil pressure is kept within the normal values provided.
