Operation
After the engine has warmed up, push the choke
knob in fully. Failure to do so will shorten
engine life.
TIP:
If the choke knob is left pulled out after the
engine starts, the engine will stall.
In temperatures of -5°C or less, leave the
choke knob pulled out fully for approximately 30
seconds after starting.
Checks after engine warm up
Shifting
While tightly moored, and without applying
throttle, confirm that the engine shifts smoothly
into forward and reverse, and back to neutral.
Stop switches
Perform the following procedure to check that
the engine stop switch and engine shut-off
switch operate properly.
Start the engine, and then check that the
engine stops when the engine stop button is
pushed.
Restart the engine, and then check that the
engine stops when the clip is pulled from the
engine shut-off switch.
Check that the engine cannot be started with
the clip removed from the engine shut-off switch.
