Set the lanyard stop switch to RUN position. Refer to General
Information—Lanyard Stop Switch.

IMPORTANT: Avoid engine flooding ‑ Do not advance the throttle when the
engine is not running. This will inject fuel into the engine and may cause a
hard starting flooded condition.
IMPORTANT: Outboards with battery charging capabilities must not be
operated with the battery cables disconnected from the battery. Damage to the
charging system may result.
5. Do not use the throttle only feature on the remote control for initial
starting. After starting the engine, you can slowly advance the throttle only
lever, or press the throttle only button and advance the control handle to
increase idle speed until the engine is warmed up. Keep the engine speed
below 2000 RPM.
NOTE: Starting flooded engine ‑ lift the neutral fast idle lever to full up and
continue to crank the engine for starting.
