OPERATING THE CONTROLS
Be sure to refer to the boat owner’s manual for additional
information. Should there be any difference between the
information presented in this manual and the boat owner’s manual,
the boat owner’s manual should take precedence.
The shift/throttle control is important to daily operation. Have your
dealer check it regularly for proper adjustment and lubrication.
NOTICE
Do not use the throttle lever during the starting sequence. Your
electronic engine controls should not need any throttle movement
while starting.
Your engine has a safety feature that allows the engine to crank
only in the neutral position. If during the starting process your
engine will not turn over, make sure that the shift / throttle control
is in the NEUTRAL position and try again.
All boats are required to have an engine safety switch
(1, Figure 6.3) that can be activated if the
driver moves from the helm position.
The safety switch should always
be connected to the operator when
the boat is underway. If you
experience a “no start” condition, verify
that this switch has not been disabled.
If the tether cord is pulled from the
switch, it disables the ignition system
so the boat cannot start.
Use caution while operating
shift lever. Shift only while
the engine is at idle.
