4. Engine start procedures
•
Engage the neutral button on the side of the throttle handle and set the
handle forward to apply some revs.
•
Turn key anti-clockwise for 10 seconds to heat the glow plug.
•
Turn key clockwise (an audible alarm will sound). Leave the key in this
position for 10 to 15 seconds.
•
Turn key further to clockwise and hold in this position until engine is
running, (like a car ignition).
•
Once the engine starts, adjust the revs if necessary and check that there
is water coming out of the exhaust. Please note, it is very important
that you leave the ignition for 10 to 15 seconds before cranking
the engine, failure to follow this procedure will result in the
engine stalling.
•
When the throttle handle is returned to neutral, the button in the centre
of the handle will pop-out, allowing you to select forward or reverse.
To stop the engine:
•
Put throttle handle to neutral
•
Push button to stop the engine, audible alarm will sound.
•
Turn starter key to upright position.
•
Leave key in vertical position as per this photograph.
Should you hear an engine alarm during operation, check which
alarm light is on and then shut down the engine and contact Horizon.
