Starting the Engine
Starting procedure for the STEYR MOTORS marine engine is the same for both cold and warm engines. The en-
gine control unit automatically regulates the fuel supply and the preheating period, for any given temperature.
Therefore, the throttle lever should remain in neutral position.
1. To start the engine, move throttle lever into idle
position and gear into neutral position.
2. Turn ignition key into position ignition “ON”. An au-
dible alarm will sound and the warning lights are
illumiated (temporary), indicating the correct func-
tion of the audible and visual warning systems.
NOTE: In case of a low temperature
start wait until the combined oil
pressure/glow plug pre-heating
indication light is turned off,
before you continue with the start
procedure.
3. Turn ignition key into position “START” and hold
in this position until “starting” of engine, but
under no circumstances hold in this position for
more than ten seconds.
If engine does not start, release ignition key mo-
mentarily and repeat starting procedure.
4. As soon as engine starts, release ignition key.
The audible alarm will stop when normal oil pres-
sure has been reached.
ATTENTION: If engine fails to start within one minute and/or repeated attempts, contact your STEYR
MOTORS Marine dealer.
Never turn ignition key to position “START” when engine is running.
