At this stage theinstrument panel should illuminate, analarm buzzer will sound and two (orthree*) red warning lights will illuminate:STARTER BATTERY CHARGEDOMESTIC BATTERY CHARGE (D inbattery symbol - AB & C Deluxepanels only)*(Note: this will only illuminate if2nd alternator is fitted)OIL PRESSUREand green POWER ON / RUN LIGHT(this will stay on)Turn to START (D) position and enginewill motor, hold in position untilengine fires (see initial start-up sectionfor maximumtime starter canbe used).Release key(when enginehas started) toRUN position.Ensure alarmAHEATBOFFCRUNDSTARTbuzzer is not sounding and thatwarning lights are extinguished. If oneor both of the alternator warning lightsare still on, then increase enginespeed to excite the alternator - thenreturn to idle. The battery chargelights should then go out. The runlight will remain on (green lamp).Check for sea water flow. If no flowthen SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELYAND CHECK SEA WATER SYSTEM.Note: for some deluxe panel with theblack keyswitch, they operateclockwise as legend on panel (OFF –RUN – HEAT – START).

To stop engine simply pressstop push button, hold in until enginestops, then turn key from ‘RUN’ to‘OFF’ position.When leaving the boat for anextended period,• Turn off sea-cock (heat exchangercooled engines).• Turn off battery isolator.Do not turn the key to the offposition when the engine isrunning. This will damage thealternator.*WARNINGDo not leave the key in ‘HEAT’position for more than 15 seconds -this will damage the heater plugsand eventually lead to poor starting.Do not depress stop button for morethan 10 seconds as this will lead tooverheating and failure of thesolenoid.The Super 5 range of engines areequipped with a mechanical stoplever in the event of electrical systemfailure. This lever is located on thestarboard side of the engine abovethe speed control lever. See Fig 2e:Stop leverSpeed leverFig. 2e6
