Starting The Engine (Warm Start); Stopping The Engine; Operating Remote Controls; Side Mount Control - Volvo Penta 4.3OSi-B Operator's Manual

Starting the engine (warm start)

1. Move the control handle to the NEUTRAL detent position.
2. Turn the key switch to START and hold until the engine
starts, but for no longer than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start, let go momentarily, then try again.
3. As soon as the engine starts, release the key to ON or
RUN .
Caution!
Never leave the key in the ON position with the engine
not running. This could damage the engine. Never turn
the key to START when the engine is running. This
could damage the engine.
If the engine floods:
Advance the control handle to ¾ throttle to clear a flooded
engine. In this throttle position, with the engine speed below
400 RPM (cranking speed), the ECM turns off the fuel injec-
tors so no fuel is delivered. When the throttle position is
moved to full throttle or less than ¾ throttle, the ECM returns
to the starting mode.
Be prepared to quickly move the control handle to IDLE once
the engine starts. This will avoid speeding and possibly dam-
aging the engine.
Caution!
Immediately after engine start-up, look at all instru-
ments. If any readings are abnormal, stop the engine
and determine the cause.

Stopping the engine

1. Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL.
2. Turn ignition key to OFF.
Caution! Do not stop the engine at speeds above
idle or "speed up" the engine while turning off the
ignition. Engine damage could result.
