Powering On/Off The Outboard: Tiller Models - Mercury Avator 7.5e Operation, Maintenance And Installation Manual

Powering On/Off the Outboard: Tiller Models

IMPORTANT: To stop the outboard in an emergency, pull the lanyard on the
tiller handle.
1. Inspect the outboard and check the following items:
• The battery is installed in the outboard.
• The lanyard stop switch is attached.
• The throttle is in the neutral position.
• The propeller is in the water and clear of any obstructions.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to remove the lanyard stop switch from its
stored position prior to powering up the outboard. This will prevent unintended
in‑gear activation of the outboard by the operator. Before the lanyard is placed
back in its operational position, verify that the tiller handle neutral indications
are aligned. Then power up the outboard and place the lanyard back in its
operational position. Use the tiller to change the gear position, forward or
reverse.
2. Press the power button on the display.
