CAUTION
Never start or operate your outboard (even momentarily) without water circulating through all the cooling water
intake holes in the gearcase to prevent damage to the water pump (running dry) or overheating of the engine.
1. Open fuel tank vent screw (in filler cap) on manual venting type fuel tanks.
2. Squeeze the fuel line primer bulb several times until it feels firm.
IMPORTANT: To prevent engine flooding, do not squeeze the primer bulb after engine has warmed up.
3. Set the lanyard stop switch to RUN position. Refer to General Information - Lanyard Stop Switch.
4. Shift outboard to neutral (N) position.
5. Models without power trim - Position the tilt lock lever to the lock position.
6. If the engine is cold, set the throttle grip to start position. If engine is warm or flooded, set the throttle grip to
half-way position.
