2. Move both shift/throttle levers to neutral.
3. Select the engine you wish to start first. NEVER
start both engines at the same time.
The ignition switch is spring activated. Release the
key as soon as the engine starts. Failure to do so
may damage the starter.
If the engine does not start within 10 seconds, re-
lease the key, then try starting the engine again. Do
not hold the ignition key in the START position for
more than 10 seconds.
4. Place one hand on the throttle of the engine you are
starting. With the other hand, turn the ignition
key.
The oil pressure alarm sounds for the first few
seconds after the engine has started. This is nor-
mal. The alarm is silenced as soon as the oil pres-
sure increases to within the normal operating
range.
