When using emergency starter rope to start engine, the start in gear protection device is inoperative. Make sure
to set the outboard gear shift into neutral to prevent outboard from starting in gear. Sudden unexpected
acceleration could result in serious injury or death.
2. Shift outboard to neutral (N) position.
3. Turn the ignition key to "ON" position.
4. Set the lanyard stop switch to the "RUN" position. Refer to General Information - Lanyard Stop Switch.
To prevent getting an electrical shock, do not touch any ignition component, wiring, or spark plug wire when
starting or running the engine.
The exposed moving flywheel can cause serious injury. Keep your hands, hair, clothing, tools, and other objects
away from engine when starting or running the engine. Do not attempt to reinstall the flywheel cover or top cowl
when engine is running.
5. Place starter rope knot into the flywheel notch and wind the rope clockwise around the flywheel.
