NOTICE
When the motor is in gear, the recoil
starter cannot be operated and attempt-
ing to use it can damage the recoil
starter.
Make sure that the motor is in "NEU-
TRAL" before pulling the recoil starter
rope.
6. Make sure the lock plate A is in place and
the emergency stop switch cord is fastened
securely to your wrist or appropriate clothing
area such as your belt.
 WARNING
Failure to properly attach the emergency
stop switch cord or to take proper pre-
cautions to help ensure that the emer-
gency stop switch works as intended may
result in serious injury or death to the
operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop
switch cord is fastened securely to the
operator's wrist or to an appropriate
clothing area (belt etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch opera-
tion.
• Be careful not to pull the stop switch
cord or knock out the lock plate during
normal operation. The motor will stop
abruptly, and the loss of forward
motion may unexpectedly throw occu-
pants forward.
NOTE:
There is a spare plastic lock plate for temporary
use only. Remove it from the cord and place in
a safe place on the boat. However, the original
cord and lock plate should be replaced as soon
as possible.
