Engine & Controls
To start the engine turn the ignition key clockwise to
the right “OPERATING” position and then to the spring
loaded “START” position. Hold the key in this position
as the engine will crank until it starts. Once the engine
starts release the key and it will seek the operating posi-
tion. To stop the engine, turn the key counterclockwise to
the “o” position and remove the key from the ignition.
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DAMAGE, NEVER TURN “OFF”
THE BATTERY SWITCH
BEFORE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED.
NOTICE
Ignition key switches normally feature the following
positions to identify key operating functions.
S= Stop
I= Operating Position (Ignition On)
II=Start Position (Spring Loaded)
Note that the key switch above is shown with the key in
the “ignition on” position.
Read and understand the blower information on this page
before attempting to start the engine. A blower switch is
used on all gasoline engines.
Before turning on the blower switch do a sni test by
opening the engine hatch. At the same time check fuel
tank components. When assured the bilge is clear of any
fumes turn on the blower switch for at least 4 minutes
before attempting to start the engine. is will vacate
any gasoline fumes that are in the engine room (bilge
or sump). Continue to run the powered blower system
below cruising speeds aer starting the engine.
A 20 amp ignition system breaker protects the ignition
circuit (See above). Should a breaker “pop” nd the
cause of the malfunction before attempting to restart
the engine.
