lanyard is attached to a part of your body.
WARNING
The operator of your boat should always tie
the end of the emergency stop switch cord
around a part of his or her body before oper-
ating the boat. This way, if the operator is
thrown overboard or an emergency occurs,
the engine can be stopped quickly by pulling
on the cord.
NOTE:
A spare plastic lock plate is provided for tempo-
rary use only. Remove it from the cord and place
it in a safe place on board your boat. If you lose
or break the emergency stop switch cord/lock
plate assembly, replace it as soon as possible
so that you can resume normal use of the emer-
gency stop switch.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
• Never run the outboard motor indoors
or in an enclosed area. Exhaust emis-
sions contain poisonous carbon mon-
oxide fumes which can cause uncon-
sciousness and may lead to death.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that
you have enough fuel to complete your in-
tended trip.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, check the emergency
stop switch lock plate. If the lock plate is not in
position, the engine cannot be started.
1. If the engine is cold:
Pull the choke knob 1 fully out. Align the line
mark 2 on the throttle control grip 3 with the
position A.
If the engine is warm:
Align the line mark 2 on the throttle control
grip 3 with the position A. Do not use the
choke.
NOTE:
You may need to use the choke when restarting
a warm engine. If your engine does not start
quickly when warm, follow the procedure for cold
starting.
