Operation
TIP:
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine, such as immediately
after the outboard motor has been operated
under a load.
5.
Pull the manual starter handle slowly until
you feel resistance. Then give a strong
pull
straight out to crank and start the engine. If the
engine does not start on the
first try, repeat the
procedure.
6.
After the engine starts, slowly return the
manual starter handle to its original position
before releasing it.
7.
Warm up the engine.
8.
Return the choke knob to its original
position gradually.
9.
Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully
closed position.
Checks after starting engine
Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling
water pilot hole. A continuous flow of water from
the pilot hole indicates that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling
water
passages. If the cooling water passages are
frozen, it may take a while for water to
start
flowing out of the pilot hole.
NOTICE
If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at
all times while the engine is running,
overheating and serious damage could
occur.
Stop the engine and check whether the cooling
water inlet on the lower case or
the cooling
water pilot hole is blocked.

Warming up engine
Warming up
After starting the engine, return the choke
knob to
the halfway position. For approximately the first 5
minutes after starting, warm
up the engine by
operating at one fifth throttle or less.
