STARTER WILL NOT OPERATE

If the starter mechanism does not oper-
ate (engine cannot be cranked with the
starter), the engine can be started with
an emergency starter rope.

8 Use this procedure only in an emer-
gency and only to return to port for
repairs.
8 When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not oper-
ate. Make sure the gear-shift lever is
in neutral. Otherwise, the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which
could result in an accident.
8 2-hp model: The propeller rotates
whenever the engine is running. Do
not move the throttle control lever
from the start position during warm-
up. Otherwise, the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could
result in an accident.
8 Be sure no one is standing behind you
when pulling the starter rope. It could
whip behind you and injure someone.
8 An unguarded rotating flywheel is
very dangerous. Keep loose clothing
and other objects away when starting
the engine. Use the emergency starter
rope only as instructed. Do not touch
the flywheel or other moving parts
when the engine is running. Do not
install the starter mechanism or top
cowling after the engine is running.
8 Do not touch the ignition coil, high
voltage wire, spark plug cap or other
electrical components when starting
or operating the motor. You could be
shocked.
