then start the engine 0.2 seconds later.
3 - Hold START byon until second engine starts (not applicable for single engine installation).

light in the panel and start buon turns off, and the light in the STOP buon will light with lower intensity.

Push the STOP buon. The panel will hold the stop signal actively for 10 seconds. In this period the red
light will blink. Stopping can be interrupted during these 10 seconds by pushing the green start buon.
