CHAPTER 5
5-6
The following general information covers starting
and stopping your engine. Read and understand all
previous information on remote controls, fueling and
operational procedures. Pay particular attention to all
labels. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for in depth
propulsion system information.
Review all pre-departure information. Before starting your engine
make sure all canvas is removed and stored. Start engine only in a well
ventilated location to avoid CO buildup. Turn the battery switch to the
number 1 or 2 position.
Set the remote control handle in the neutral position. Advance the
neutral throttle position as instructed in the engine owner’s manual.
Connect the safety lanyard to a belt or secure to clothing such as a pants
belt loop. Keep passengers seated and away from controls.
Turn the ignition key to the momentarily start position. You will hear the
starter cranking over the engine. When the engine starts release the key
switch. It will automatically align itself in the run position (ignition).
If the engine does not start, refrain from cranking the engine over 10-
12 seconds. Allow the starter and battery a chance to recover. Advance
the remote control in the neutral throttle position as recommended
in the engine manual. Do not race the remote control in the neutral
position.
