Stopping the engine
Stopping the engine
1. Disengage the reverse gear by putting the control lever
in neutral.
2. Turn the key to stop position “S”. Keep the key turned
until the engine stops. The key will automatically return
to the “0” position when it is released and can then be
removed. Alternatively press the stop button. To stop
the engine using the stop button is only possible if the
control panel is activated.
After stopping the engine
● Check the engine and engine bay for leakage.
● Shut off the fuel taps and sea cocks.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to open the taps next
time the engine is started.
● Read off the hours counter and do preventive mainte-
nance as in the maintenance schedule.
● Turn off the main switches before any long stoppage.
IMPORTANT! Never break the circuit with the main
switches while the engine is running. This could da-
mage the alternator and electronics.
Allow the engine to idle (in neutral) for at least three minutes after the end of your journey. This evens out the
temperatures inside the engine, and stops after-boiling.
IMPORTANT! The above is particularly important if the engine has been driven at high speed and/or heavily
loaded.
Emergency stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure, it is
possible to stop the engine via auxiliary stop mounted on
the side of the engine.
