START & RUNNING RUNNING CRUISING SPEED A recommended engine speed is given in the TECHNICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE BOAT DATA section to help you to set your cruising speed. If this is your first boat or if you are not familiar with the boat, we urge you to practice controlling the boat at slow speed as a first step.
START & RUNNING MANOEUVRING TROLLING VALVE The Trolling valve system allows to reduce the rotation speed of the propeller below its speed when the engine is WARNING ! at idle. The boat speed is reduced by 30% to 70%. Shifting at high speed can damage both the engine and CAUTION ! the transmission and be dangerous for passengers.
START & RUNNING AFTER RUNNING AFTER STOPPING THE ENGINE STOPPING THE ENGINE CAUTION ! Even after the engine has stopped, some components CAUTION ! and fluids will remain hot and under pressure for several minutes. As far as possible, limit works on the engine immediately after stopping it.
START & RUNNING ANCHORING If the boat is not going to be used for some time but is being left in the water, the engine must be run to operating temperature at least once every 2 weeks. This prevents corrosion in the engine. When the boat is at anchor or in port for an extended period of time, vegetation may develop on the hull, the keel, the drive, the rudder, the propeller, etc.

MAINTENANCE TURBOCHARGER TURBO SERVICE Engine turbochargers are designed to provide long years of trouble free service, which if required, can only be performed by a specialized workshop. In view to maintain CAUTION ! turbochargers performances for as long as possible, some basic rules must be followed.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM The exhaust system of an engine must be able to freely exhaust all exhaust gases at high temperatures after CAUTION ! combustion in the outside air. The exhaust resistance should be as low as possible to avoid a decrease in power, however the exhaust noise Beware of hot washing water.
MAINTENANCE AIR INTAKE WARNING ! Carry out these operations when the engine is stopped and cold. Make sure that no dust or dirt enter the intake manifold. The reliability and the performances of the engine depend among other things on the quantity and the temperature of the global air intake design.

MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION SYSTEM CAUTION ! Never over-fill the engine oil crankcase. NOTE ! With a new or reconditioned engine, oil and oil filters must be replaced earliest after 100 hours of operation. Use oil grades as indicated in the section TECHNICAL DATA. Warranty claims may be rejected if unsuitable oil grade has been used.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE OIL WARNING ! Max. 45 litres (11.9 US gallons). Min. 39 litres (10.3 US gallons). Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing hot oil. Make sure that there is no pressure in the lubrication system before changing the oil.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING CENTRIFUGAL OIL CLEANER NOTE ! WARNING ! Take care not to damage the rotor shaft. 6. If the rotor nut is jammed: Turn the rotor upside down The oil may be hot. Carefully remove the cover from the and fasten the rotor nut in a vice.

23. Screw the rotor nut back on by hand. 24. Check that the shaft is not damaged or loose. Contact a Nanni representative if the rotor shaft needs renewing. 16. Wash the parts according to the applicable industrial method.
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONAL TESTING OF THE 25. Refit the rotor and rotate it by hand to make sure it rotates easily. CENTRIFUGAL OIL CLEANER Operational testing need only be carried out if it is suspected that the centrifugal oil cleaner is malfunctioning. For example, if there are unusually few deposits given the distance driven.
MAINTENANCE REPLACE THE OIL FILTER Clean the centrifugal oil cleaner at the same time as you change the oil filter. Otherwise, the oil filter will be blocked and resistance in the filter will increase. If this happens, an overflow valve in the filter retainer opens and lets the oil pass without being filtered.
