Temporary action in emergency
Impact damage
WARNING
The outboard motor can be seriously dam-
aged by a collision while operating or
trailering. Damage could make the out-
board motor unsafe to operate.
Trouble Recovery
If the outboard motor hits an object in the wa-
ter, follow the procedure below.
1. Stop the engine immediately.
2.
Inspect the control system and all compo-
nents for damage. Also inspect the boat
for damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return
to the nearest harbor slowly and careful-
ly.
4. Have a Outboards dealer inspect the out-
board motor before operating it again.
Starter will not operate
If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started with an emer-
gency starter rope.
WARNING
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
Make sure the remote control lever is in
neutral. Otherwise the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could re-
sult in an accident.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to
a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating the boat.
