Operation
Synchronising the engine speed
When driving with twin engines, both the operating econo-
my and comfort can be increased if the engines are operat-
ing at the same engine speed (RPM).
If the synchronisation function is activated, the engine
speed (RPM) of the starboard engine is automatically ad-
justed to that of the port engine if:
1. The engine speed levers for both engine are in (approxi-
mately) the same position.
2. The engine speed on both engines must exceed 800
rpm.
3. The engine speed on neither engine exceeds 3800 rpm.
NOTE!
The synchroniser is disengaged as soon as the
conditions are no longer met.
The synchronisation function is automatically activated at
start. However the function can also be engaged and disen-
gaged by pressing the synchronisation button for at least
one second.
Changing control position
For reasons of safety, the engine can only be changed to
the new control position if the control lever(s) are in neutral
in
both
the control position that was left and the new con-
trol position.
WARNING!
Ensure that the control lever(s) are in neu-
tral before transffering to the new control position.
1. Set the control lever(s) to neutral at the control position
you are about to leave.
2. Set the control lever(s) to neutral at the new control po-
sition.
3. Activate the control position by pressing the activation
button for at least one second.
