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
concerning oil, batteries and engine heaters:
Oil
Use an oil with the correct viscosity for the
temperatures that the SOLAS-engine will be used in,
see table.
The correct oil viscosity is stated in chapter "Technical
data" in the D4/D6 Operator's Manual.
Battery
To manage cold starts, the starter battery shall have a
capacity of:
12 V 2300 CCA
24 V 1150 CCA
Engine heater
To manage cold starts in temperatures below -15°C
(5°F), the engine must be equipped with an engine
heater of at least 2 kW.
Read the user instructions from the
supplier of the engine heater carefully before you use
your SOLAS-engine in a cold climate.
In case of a safety stop/ tilt-switch deploy-
ment
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.
After an automatic safety stop, the ignition is still
turned on and must therefore be turned off before
attempting to start the engine again.
Follow the starting procedure in the D4/D6 Operator's
Manual.
1. Turn ignition off.
2. Turn ignition on again.
3. Start the engine.
