Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-

ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
Starting procedure (cold engine)
1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
TIP:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
tral.
2. Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg. Then install the clip on the other
end of the cord into the engine shut-off
switch.
3. Place the throttle grip in the "
(start) position.

tion before releasing it.

When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
