OPERATION
29
Gear Shifting
Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: Forward (F), Neutral (N), and Reverse (R).
Reduce throttle speed to idle speed.
Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.
Stopping The Engine
Reduce engine speed and push in the stop switch or pull the lanyard.
Emergency Starting
If the starter rope should break or the rewind starter fails, use the spare starter rope (provided) and follow this
procedure.
1. Shift outboard to neutral position.
WARNING
When using the emergency starter rope to start engine, the start at idle speed protection is inoperative. Make
sure to have the engine speed set at slow, and the outboard gear shift positioned in neutral to prevent outboard
from starting in gear. Sudden unexpected acceleration could result in serious injury or death.
