Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL. Refer to
Shifting and Speed Control - Tiller Models
on page 26.
1. NEUTRAL
WARNING
Always shift to NEUTRAL before start-
ing the outboard to prevent sudden
boat movement, which can cause
injury.
Twist throttle grip to slowest idle position.
1. Slowest idle position
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electron-
ic idle control system.
If the outboard is started with the throttle ad-
vanced, the outboard will be in a safety
mode.
It will not respond to throttle until the throttle
twist grip is returned to slowest IDLE position.
