WARNING
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
●
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
When the emergency starter rope is
●
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not operate.
Make sure the remote control lever is in
neutral. Otherwise the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could re-
sult in an accident.
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
●
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
●
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
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 some-
one.
An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very
●
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the en-
gine. 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.
