EMERGENCY STARTING
NOTE:
The electric starter models are equipped with a
recoil starter as the back-up system for emer-
gency starting. Therefore, an additional emer-
gency starter rope is not provided.
If you must get the engine running, but are
unable to do so because of recoil starter sys-
tem failure, you can use the emergency starting
procedure to start the engine.
To start the engine when the recoil starter
fails:
1. Shift the motor into “NEUTRAL”.
WARNING
If you touch electrical components when rope-
starting the engine, you can get a severe elec-
trical shock.
When rope-starting the engine, be careful not
to touch electrical components such as igni-
tion coils or spark plug leads.
WARNING
When you use the emergency starting proce-
dure, the start-in-gear protection system will
not work. If the handle/shift grip is not in the
“NEUTRAL” position, the boat can start off
unexpectedly when the engine is started,
throwing occupants or causing an accident.
Make sure that the handle/shift grip is in the
“NEUTRAL” position before attempting to
start the motor using the emergency starting
procedure.
2. Remove the motor cover by turning the lock
lever in the direction of the arrow and lifting
the cover off.
3. Loosen the screw 1, remove the NSI cable
2 from recoil starter and NSI cam 3.
4. Remove the three bolts securing the recoil
starter assembly in place.
Lift off the recoil starter assembly.
5. Tie a knot in one end of the emergency
starter rope located in the tool kit. Tie the
other end around the screw-driver handle in
the tool kit.
6. Hook the knotted end of the rope in the pul-
ley notch and wind the rope around the pul-
ley in a clockwise direction.
7. Put the emergency stop switch lock plate in
place.
8. Remote control model:
Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
