PERATION
Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL. Refer to
Shifting and Speed Control
on page 21.
Twist throttle grip to SLOWEST speed posi-
tion.
DO NOT
advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electronic
idle control system.
If the outboard is started with the throttle ad-
vanced, the outboard will be in a safety mode.
It will not respond to throttle until the throttle
twist grip is returned to slowest speed posi-
tion.
After the engine starts, the engine manage-
ment module (
EMM
) automatically increases
idle speed slightly. Idle speed will decrease as
the engine warms up.
While seated, grasp the starter handle and
pull slowly until the starter engages, then pull
hard.
Repeat, if needed, until outboard starts.
To prevent damage to starter
assembly, allow starter cord to rewind
before releasing starter handle.
IMPORTANT:
Engine will not start if outboard
is in gear or if tether cord is not in place.
If your outboard does not react normally to
this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to
Troubleshooting
on page 44.
After Engine Starts
Check the water pump indicator. A steady
stream of water indicates the water pump is
working. If a steady stream of water from the
water pump indicator is not visible, stop the
