Special demands for engine operation in
cold climates
To guarantee safe starting of the SOLAS-D4/D6 in
cold climates, it is the boat owner's responsibility to
ensure that the following demands are fulfilled con-
cerning oil, batteries and engine heaters:
Oil
Use an oil with the correct viscosity for the tempera-
tures that the SOLAS-engine will be used in. See
table. See also instructions for the correct oil grade in
chapter "technical data" in the D4/D6 instruction book.
Battery
To manage cold starts, the starter battery shall have a
capacity of:
For D4 - At least, 1150 CCA
For D6 - At least, 2300 CCA
Engine heater:
In order to manage cold starts in temperatures below
-15°C (5°F), the engine must be equipped with an en-
gine heater of at least 2 kW.
IMPORTANT! Read the user instructions from
the supplier of the engine heater carefully before
you use your SOLAS-engine in a cold climate.
Instructions in case of a safety stop
If the engine has stopped automatically due to the
boat capsizing, it can be restarted again once the
boat's position in the water has stabilized. Follow the
starting procedure in the D4/D6 instruction book.
IMPORTANT! After an automatic safety stop,
the ignition is still turned on and must therefore
be turned off before attempting to start the en-
gine again.
Viscosity (Refers to synthetic or semi-synthetic oils)
Notice: The temperature values refer to stable ambient tem-
peratures.
Turn off the ignition after an
automatic safety stop!
