Getting Underway
• Make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the
belts and pulleys of the engine. Severe injury can result by
becoming entangled in the belts of the engine while it is
running. Make sure the boat is deep enough in the water to
supply the water intake with water to cool the engine. Move
the throttle into the NEUTRAL “straight up” position.
• Close the engine cover.
• Start the engine.
An engine guard which is not in place or
contact with any moving parts can cause death or
serious injury. The engine box cover is a machinery
guard. DO NOT operate your boat without the cover
closed and in place unless you are performing a check
or maintenance. Keep your hands, clothing, hair and
any other body parts away from any moving parts.
!
DO NOT continue to operate the starter for
more than 30 seconds without pausing to allow the
starter motor to cool off for five minutes. This allows the
battery to recover between starting attempts.
CAUTION
Fire or explosion hazard from fumes
accumulating in bilge area. Ventilate the engine
compartment by running the blower for four minutes,
especially after repairing or refueling and check for fuel
spills or leaks.
