OPERATION
If the outboard is started with the throttle ad-
vanced, the outboard will be in a safety mode.
It will not respond to throttle until the throttle is
returned to slowest IDLE position
After the engine starts, the engine manage-
ment module (EMM) automatically increases
idle speed slightly. Idle speed will decrease as
the engine warms up.
