Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the starter fails, your engine can be started
using a 1/4 in (6 mm) cord about 4 ft. (1.2 m)
long.
Be sure:
• Key switch is OFF.
• Engine is in normal operating position.
• Shift lever is in NEUTRAL.
1) Release port and starboard side engine
cover latches downward. Pull up on the tilt
handle to release the engine cover seal
and remove the engine cover.
2) Remove fuse holder from flywheel cover.
3) Raise flywheel guard from the fittings by
pulling up on the front two fastening tabs.
4) Holding the flywheel guard out of the way,
hook the knot of your emergency start cord
into the notch on the flywheel. Wind the
cord clockwise in the flywheel ridge, mak-
ing one and a half full windings with the
cord.
A WARNING
Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL before
performing emergency starting proce-
dures. Failure to do so may result in
unexpected boat movement.
The engine cover is a machinery guard.
To prevent injury from moving engine
components, keep hands, clothes, and
hair clear of powerhead.
Prevent electric shock by keeping clear
of the ignition coils and spark plug leads
when the outboard is being started or is
running. Shock can cause serious per-
sonal injury under certain conditions.
DO NOT turn flywheel by hand. Use
starter cord only.
