Before starting the engine, make sure that
the boat is tightly moored and that you
can steer clear of any obstructions. Be
sure there are no swimmers in the water
near you.

WARNING
●
Failure to attached engine shut-off cord
could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut- off
cord to a secure place on your clothing,
or your arm or leg while operating. Do
not attach the cord to clothing that could
tear loose. Do not route the cord where it
could become entangled, pre- venting it
from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
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.
1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
TIP:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
tral.
2. Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm or
leg. Then install the clip on the other end of
the cord into the engine shut-off switch.
3. Place the throttle grip in the “ ”
(start) position. After the engine starts,
return the throttle to the fully closed
position.
