gine stop switch.
WARNING
EWM00120
●
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating.
●
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine 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.
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).
CAUTION:
ECM00191
●
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 im-
possible to start the engine. The starter
can also be damaged. 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.
NOTE:
●
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 32.
●
If the engine is warm and fails to start,
open the throttle slightly and try to start the
engine again. If the engine still fails to
start, see page 61.
