Emergency Starting Engine - Yamaha F4 Owner's Manual

could result in an accident.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
G
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating the
boat.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
G
that could tear loose. Do not route the
cord where it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
G
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine 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
G
you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure
someone.
An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very
G
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
G
plug wire, spark plug cap, or other elec-
trical components when starting or op-
erating the motor. You could get an
electrical shock.
