Stopping
11 Eletrical shutdown • Reduce engine speed to idle and shift the gearbox to ‘Neutral’. • Turn the key anticlockwise to the “Off” position.
Note Never stop the engine immediately after it has been in operation for a long time. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before stopping. 32
N.B. The ‘Stop’ position, left of the ‘Off’ position on the control panel, has normally no function for this engine. When 2 control panels are connected to one engine, the engine can always be stopped by turning the key to the ‘Stop’ position, no matter what the position is of the key on the other panel.
Note If the engine is not to be used for some time, it is recommended that the sea cock is closed and the battery main switch turned off.
