Water in the fuel pre-filter

It is a good rule to drain the water from the filters, before the relevant

indicator comes on.

Avoid using the engine with the fuel tank only a small reserve of fuel;

this encourages the formation of condensation and makes it more like-

ly you will suck up dirt or air, resulting in engine stoppage.

Air filter blocked and exhaust circuit inefficient

Inspect the cleanliness of the air intakes and discharge pipes on a reg-

ular basis. The maintenance intervals indicated in this manual only take

into account the performance of engine components, and not any ad-

ditional fittings installed by the Boatbuilder and any external events.

Battery recharge or alternator malfunction

Check it or have it checked periodically for cleanliness, wear and prop-

er tensioning of the drive belt.

Irregularities in the electrical system

Periodically check, particularly during the winter, to ensure that the

batteries are clean and in full working order, checking and topping up

as indicated in the section CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE; al-

ways comply with the warning notices provided. Should it be neces-

sary to replace the batteries, always comply with the characteristics

indicated in the section TECHNICAL DATA.

RUNNING IN

Thanks to modern engine construction technology, no particular run-

ning in procedure is required. However, it is recommended that, for

the first 50 hours, you do not use the engine at high power for long

periods.

CAUTION!

When refuelling, always pay great care to ensure that no

solid or liquid pollutants enter the fuel tank; you must also

remember that smoking and live flames are prohibited

when refuelling.

CAUTION!

Visually check that the exhaust circuit is not blocked or

damaged, so as to prevent dangerous fumes within the

vessel.

CAUTION!

The drive members are located under protective casings.

These must only be removed when the engine is not turn-

ing.

WARNING

If a voltage of less than 11 V (for 12 V rated systems) or 22 V (for 24

V rated systems) is shown, contact specialised technical staff and have

them diagnose the efficiency of the batteries and the recharging sys-

tem.
