Power tilt will not operate
If the engine cannot be tilted up or down with
the power tilt because of a discharged battery
or a failure with the power tilt unit, the engine
can be tilted manually.
1. Loosen the manual valve screw by turn-
ing it counterclockwise until it stops.
2. Put the engine in the desired position,
then tighten the manual valve screw by
turning it clockwise.
EMU29533
Starter will not operate
If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started with an emer-
gency starter rope.
WARNING
EWM01022
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not operate.
Make sure the remote control lever is in
neutral. Otherwise the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could re-
sult in an accident.
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
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.
Make sure no one is standing behind
you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure some-
one.
An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the en-
gine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.
