5.14 ENGINE EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Due to a mechanical or electrical fault, the normal procedures for engine stop might not be sufficient; it is therefore necessary to stop the engines with the EMERGENCY procedures.





In the case of a engine malfunction alarm, the luminous ring of the relevant start button on the helm station will light up red in a flashing manner.
Acknowledge on the helm station or in the engine room.

WARNING

After stopping the engines with the STOP buttons after 5 attempts, the engines’ electronics stall and must be reprogrammed. Have the engines reprogrammed by Assistance Service.
These switches must be used only if strictly necessary.

WARNING

STOP control stops the engine. Only 5 emergency stops are allowed, after which an attachment will start, limiting the maximum engine speed at 1600 rpm. Have the engine memory re-programmed at the Service Centres.

WARNING

The engines emergency stop controls must be used only in case of real emergency.
Never use these controls during the normal engine stop procedure.

CAUTION

The emergency stop generates heavy stress on the engines with consequent hazard of component damage.
Use only in case of real need.

DANGER

Before restarting the engines after an emergency stop, make sure to find and to clear the reason of the fault.
