Emergency Starting Engine (Manual Start Model) - Yamaha F20G Owner's Manual

Trouble Recovery
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-

ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
Make sure no one is standing behind

you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure
someone.
An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very

dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the
engine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.
Do not touch the ignition coil, spark

plug wire, spark plug cap, or other elec-
trical components when starting or op-
erating the motor. You could get an
electrical shock.
