Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-

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
