Operation
59
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
tral.
2. Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg. Then install the clip on the other
end of the cord into the engine shut-off
switch.
3. Place the throttle grip in the “ ”
(start) position. After the engine starts,
return the throttle to the fully closed po-
sition.
4. Turn the main switch to “ ” (start),
and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
5. Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “ ” (on). NOTIC E: Never turn
the main switch to “ ” (start) while
the engine is running. Do not keep the
starter motor turning for more than 5
seconds. If the starter motor is turned
continuously for more than 5 seconds,
the battery will be quickly discharged,
thus making it impossible to start the
engine. The starter can also be dam-
aged. If the engine will not start after 5
seconds of cranking, return the main
switch to “ ” (on), wait 10 seconds,
then crank the engine again.
