4. Set the remote control handle to the neutral position.
IMPORTANT: Avoid engine flooding ‑ Do not advance the throttle while engine
is not running. This will inject fuel into the engine and may cause a hard
starting flooded condition.
IMPORTANT: Outboards with battery charging capabilities must not be
operated with battery cables disconnected from the battery. Damage to the
charging system may result.
5. Temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F) ‑ Do not use the throttle only feature
on the remote control for initial starting. After starting the engine, you can
slowly advance the throttle only feature, to increase idle speed until the
engine is warmed up. Keep engine speed below 2000 RPM.
6. Temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) ‑ Use the throttle only feature on the
remote control to open the throttle slightly for initial starting. After starting
the engine, you can slowly advance the throttle only feature, to increase
idle speed until the engine is warmed up. Keep engine speed below 2000
RPM.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start after five attempts, pump the throttle twice by
moving the throttle only feature to the full open position two times. Return the
throttle only feature back so that the throttle is only opened slightly and retry
starting the engine.
