ously, choose the "START" mode before
starting the engine. (See page 2-22 for
selecting "PADLOC" mode.)
NOTE:
@
G If the initial setting of the PADLOC has not
been done, the "START" mode is auto-
matically selected.

push the start switch (green button).
WARNING

On this watercraft, the engine is con-
nected directly to the jet pump. Starting
the engine immediately generates some
thrust. Apply only enough throttle to
keep the engine running.

engine starts to run.
CAUTION:
@
G
Never push the start switch while the
engine is running.

motor may be damaged. If the engine
does not start in 5 seconds, release
the start switch, wait 15 seconds, and
try again.

the choke knob in to its original position.
