3. OPERATION
EN
The engine will seize if it is operat-
ed when cooling seawater dis-
charge is too small or if load is
applied without any warming up op-
eration.
3.3.3 Operation
(1) Engine acceleration and decelera-
tion
Use the throttle handle to control ac-
celeration and deceleration. Move the
handle slowly.
(2) FORWARD- NEUTRAL (boat
stopped) - REVERSE Clutch
Use the clutch handle to change from
FORWARD to NEUTRAL (boat
stopped) to REVERSE.
Shifting the marine gear while oper-
ating at high speed or not pushing
the handle fully into position (par-
tial engagement) will result in dam-
age to the marine gear parts and
abnormal wear.
1. Before using the marine gear, be sure
to move the throttle handle to a low
idle position (less than 1000 rpm).
Move the throttle handle slowly to a
higher speed position after completing
clutch engagement.
2. When changing between FORWARD
and REVERSE, bring the clutch to
NEUTRAL and pause before slowly
shifting to the desired position. Do not
shift abruptly from FORWARD to RE-
VERSE or vice versa.
3. Move the clutch handle accurately and
fully into the FORWARD, NEUTRAL,
and REVERSE positions.
3.3.4 Cautions During Operation
Always be on the lookout for problems dur-
ing engine operation.
Pay particular attention to the following:
(1) Is sufficient water being discharged
from the seawater outlet pipe?
If the discharge is small, stop the en-
gine immediately; identify the cause
and repair.
(2) Is the exhaust color normal?
The continuous emission of black ex-
haust smoke indicates engine over-
loading. This shortens the engine's life
and should be avoided.
(3) Are there abnormal vibrations or
noise?
Depending on the hull structure, en-
gine and hull resonance may suddenly
become great at a certain engine
speed range, causing heavy vibra-
tions. Avoid operation in this speed
range. If you hear any abnormal
sounds, stop the engine and inspect.
(4) Alarm buzzer sounds during opera-
tion.
If the alarm buzzer sounds during op-
eration, lower the engine speed imme-
diately, check the warning lamps, and
stop the engine for repairs.
