STOPPING
Every propulsion engine is fitted with a stop solenoid.
To stop the engine simply press stop push button, hold in
until engine stops, then turn key from 'RUN' to 'OFF'
position. Do not turn the key to the off position when the
engine is running, this will not allow the alternator to
charge the battery.
WARNING!
DO NOT leave the key in the 'OFF' position when engine
is running. This will not allow the alternator to charge
and will damage the alternator.
DO NOT leave the key in 'HEAT' position for more than
15 seconds - this will damage the heater plugs and
eventually lead to poor starting.

When leaving the boat for an extended period:
•
Turn off sea-cock (heat exchanger cooled engines).
•
Turn off battery isolator.
DO NOT depress the stop button for more than ten
seconds as this will lead to overheating and failure of
the solenoid.
These engines are equipped with a mechanical stop lever
in the event of electrical system failure. This lever is
located on the starboard side of the engine below the
speed control lever. See illustration below. Move the stop
lever aft to stop the engine then return it to the run
position.
