Operation
the engine will run poorly or stall.
5.
Pull the manual starter handle slowly un-
til you feel resistance. Then give a
strong pull straight out to crank and start
the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6.
After the engine starts, slowly return the
manual starter handle to its original po-
sition before releasing it.
7.
Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully
closed position.
NOTE:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 26.
If the engine does not start on the first try,
repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to
start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and
try again. Also if the engine is warm and
fails to start, open the throttle a same
22
amount and try to start the engine again. If
the engine still fails to start, see page 53.
Electric start models
1.
Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
NOTE:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
tral.
2.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to
a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on
the other end of the lanyard into the en-
gine stop switch.
WARNING
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
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.
