 WARNING
Failure to properly attach the emergency
stop switch cord or to take proper pre-
cautions to help ensure that the emer-
gency stop switch works as intended may
result in serious injury or death to the
operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop
switch cord is fastened securely to the
operator's wrist or to an appropriate
clothing area (belt etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch opera-
tion.
• Be careful not to pull the stop switch
cord or knock out the lock plate during
normal operation. The motor will stop
abruptly, and the loss of forward
motion may unexpectedly throw occu-
pants forward.
NOTE:
There is a spare plastic lock plate for temporary
use only. Remove it from the cord and place in
a safe place on the boat. However, the original
cord and lock plate should be replaced as soon
as possible.

STARTING THE ENGINE

 WARNING
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide,
a dangerous gas that is difficult to detect
because it is colorless and odorless.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
death or severe injury.
Never start the engine or let it run indoors
or where there is little or no ventilation.
NOTE:
If the emergency stop switch lock plate is not in
position, the starter motor cannot operate.
