Anleitung Zusammenfassung
For example, a passenger may lose balance and fall, or control could be lost during docking. No specific guidelines can be given for switch use. The ultimate decision of when to use an ignition shutdown switch rests with the operator or owner. When the switch is used, the operator must securely clip the lanyard to their belt or clothing so that if the operator falls overboard or into the boat, the switch is activated and the engine shuts down. To reset ignition shutdown switch after it has been activated, simply reinstall the switch clip above the shut-off switch and flip the switch to the "UP" position. F. Engine Alarm System The Engine Operator's Manual will tell you if your engine is equipped with an audible alarm and how to use it. The alarm indicates a problem with engine water temperature, oil pressure and/or stern drive oil level. 8. Important Gauges A. Tachometer and Hour Meter The tachometer (see Figure 2.7.2) indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine (it does not indicate the speed of the boat). Your Engine Operator's Manual indicates the maximum full throttle RPM at which your engine should operate. This must not be exceeded or serious engine damage will occur. The tachometer should also be used to determine the most comfortable and economical cruising RPM. The hour meter measures cumulative hours of operating time on the engine. Use the hour meter to keep a careful log of when to maintain the engine as well as to estimate fuel consumption. Do not leave ignition key in the "ON" position with engine off, because the hour meter will continue to run, even though the engine is not operating. ! CAUTION Always check oil pressure and water gauges while moving, even if your engine has an alarm. Shut down engine immediately if gauges are not in normal ranges, or alarm sounds. Do not restart engine until problems are corrected. Ignition Shutdown Switch (Fig 2.7.1) Ignition Shutdown Switch Clips to Switch Typical Tachometer with Hour Meter (Fig 2.7.2) Clips to You B. Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Voltmeter and Fuel Gauges These gauges function on your boat the same way they do on your car or truck. You must continually check these gauges visually to make certain there are no engine system problems even if your boat engine has an alarm system. Inserting the Aft Removable Navigation/ Anchor Light (Located at the Stern of the Boat) (Fig 2.8.1) ANCHOR LIGHT MAST COMPRESSION TYPE CONNECTOR 9. Navigation and Anchor Lights Navigation lights must be on while underway from sunset to sunrise or in conditions of reduced visibility. "Underway" means the boat is not docked or at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine off is considered "underway" and navigation lights must be used. (See Figure 2.8.2) If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other boats can approach yours, you must display your anchor light: a white light that can be seen from all possible directions, i.e. 360 degrees. Read the "Federal Requirements and Safety Tips for Recreational Boats" provided in your kit.
