7.1.5 Emergency stop of propulsion engines

Because of a mechanical or electric fault, the normal and useful procedures for stopping the engines could not be sufficient; it is therefore necessary to stop the engines with the EMERGENCY procedures.

• STOP buttons in the engine room:
  If it is not possible to stop the motors using the buttons on the helm station, operate the “RUN STOP” selector switch, located on the side of the motor, by turning it to “STOP”.

CAUTION

The emergency stop causes heavy stress to the engines with consequent hazard of component damage. Use the emergency stop only in case of real emergency.

DANGER

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