Tools: Spanner 13
⚠ Do not spill oil over the engine
⚠ Make sure that no oil is added above the upper mark of the dipstick
Tools: Funnel
⚠ Replace the oil when the engine has its operating temperature (but is stopped); oil temperature about 80 degrees Celsius - risk of burning the skin
Tools: Special sump pump
⚠ Do not smoke when draining liquids from engine or filters; keep open fire away
⚠ The rubber impeller should never run dry
⚠ Always carry a spare impeller on board (AA.480.90021)
Tools: Impeller removal tool
⚠ Open the filler cap on top of the heat exchanger housing only when the engine is cold
⚠ Never add sea (or salt) water into the inner cooling circuit
⚠ Do not smoke when working at or around the fuel system and avoid open fire
Tools: Special filter tool
⚠ Do not load the engine with this mixture; idle speed only
⚠ Anti-freeze liquid is very poisonous; dispose of it correctly
⚠ Place a bucket underneath the exhaust exit to catch excessive antifreeze while starting; anti-freeze is poisonous
⚠ Stop the starting procedure if the engine does not come to life within 10 seconds
⚠ Do not run the starter motor more than 30 seconds continuously
