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.
