WARNING
Accidental activation of the Emergency
Stop Switch (such as the tether being
pulled out in heavy seas) could cause pas-
sengers to lose their balance and even fall
overboard, or it could result in loss of
power in heavy seas, strong currents, or
high winds. Loss of control while mooring
is another potential hazard.
To minimize accidental activation of the
Emergency Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20
inch.) stop switch tether is coiled and can
extended to a full 1300 mm (51 inch.).

4. Pull the choke knob out. (Pulling the
choke knob is not necessary when the
engine is warm. If the engine is warm,

feel slight resistance (engagement),
and then quickly and strongly pull the
handle without a rest.
1. Quickly

knob back. (in the case the choke
knob is used.)
