Operation
Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on
your maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a
risk that passengers could fall over, or overboard.
WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check that there is nobody in the water before
you engage forward / aft drive. Never drive close to bathers or in areas where you could reasonably expect
that people could be in the water.
Reading the instruments
Read all instruments and alarm displays directly after
starting, and then regularly during your voyage.
Oil pressure
The oil pressure gauge should normally indicate
between 4-5.5 bar. It will indicate a somewhat lower
value when idling.
If the oil pressure is too low, the audible warning will
sound automatically at the same time as the lamp in
the warning display will flash.
Coolant temperature
The temperature gauge should normally indicate bet-
ween 75– 95°C (167-203°F) in normal operation.
If the coolant temperature is too low, the audible war-
ning will sound automatically at the same time as the
lamp in the warning display will flash.
Charging
During operation, system voltage should be about 28
V for 24 Volt system voltage.
If there is a charge failure, the audible warning will
sound automatically at the same time as the lamp in
the warning display will flash.
