Stopping The Engine - Nanni T4.205 Operator's Manual

Stopping the
engine
CAUTION
Never stop the engine by using
the main switch. This could da-
mage the electrical system.
Before stopping the engine, let it
run at idle in neutral for few mi-
nutes, especially if the engine has
been operated at high speed and
load. This will allow the coolant to
cool down the engine.
1. Start the fan in the engine
compartment (if fitted) or open
the hold.
2. Turn the key on the panel
counter-clockwise. The engine
stops, all lamps go out. For panel
without key, press the ON/STOP
button and release it.
3. Turn the key of the main panel
counter-clockwise. All indicators
turn off.
CAUTION
Even after the engine has
stopped, some components and
fluids remain hot and pressuri-
sed for several minutes. As far
as possible, limit work on the en-
gine immediately after stopping
it, when it is hot.

After the engine has stopped:

ment and check for any leaks.
CAUTION
 If the boat is being towed,
stop the engine and close the
sea cock to prevent the engine
from being filled with raw water.
With a Stern Drive propulsion
system, put the drive in the LIFT
RANGE.
 On twin engine installation,
if cruising with a single engine,
close the sea cock of the stop-
ped engine. Do not forget to
open it again before restarting
the engine.
