We have a 0 here – the motor is off.
There's ON – the motor is either on or it is the pre-start mode when you check the system.
HEAT stands for the plug warming up, in other words the second position is for when we warm the plugs up.
The green light is on here.
As for the START – we turn the key here to start the engine, literally for 1-2 seconds the starter is working and we start the engine.
After the engine is started all the lights are off, which means everything is alright with our engine.
One more thing I wanted to say is that you should certainly have an operational manual for your engine.
If you do everything without the manual, you can simply damage your engine, and this is very disappointing.
Engine replacement is very expensive even if you have a small sailboat.
For example, engine replacement for a 32-feet sailboat will cost around 10 000 dollars, in other words, loosely speaking, that's compatible with the price of the sailboat itself.
Manuals are usually in several languages.
I have English and 5 more languages here.
It contains basic information, it's worth studying, read it properly and you will start understanding how to service and maintain your engine much better.
I will tell you a bit later why is it so important.
Every manual contains information about when, where and how you should check or change.
It is written here "every day"...
But in fact it's a bit different, i.e.
you don't need to check the oil level every day, but most likely we are more interested in numbers like every 100 hours, every 200 hours, every 400 hours or once in two years.
You read, watch and check all these things.
There are also different specifications here.
For example, I have the model 2.5HE, and it is written how many horsepower it has, what's its volume, what's its weight.
My motor weighs 92 kilos.
And what's important for us: what type of oil, what's the oil volume, what type of oil is in gear box, what's the gear box volume, etc.
What is more, below we have the names and the numbers for all the parts we may need to replace.
I also have a manual like this.
It says how many revs I should set to use the engine.
A lot of yachtsmen think that all the diesel vessel's motors should be used at minimal revs, which means 1800.
But there are also high-revving motors.
These are usually the motors with less horse powers.
In other words, I have 2.5HE engine, and as we see we should use it at maximum, 100% power 10% of all the time in usage, for us it means 3600 revs.
In the format when we need to run somewhere, we may use it at 3200, i.e.
