OPERATION
5. Pull the emergency starter rope
slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull briskly.
Keep away from moving parts
while pulling the rope.
If necessary, rewind the rope and
pull again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, refer to
TAKING CARE OF
UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS,
p. 59.
6. If the choke was used to start the
engine, return the knob to the
normal operating position as the
engine warms up.
7. Leave the recoil starter assembly
off, but install the engine cover
(p. 42).
8. If it was necessary to remove the
emergency stop switch lanyard
from you to perform the emergency
starting procedure, be sure the
lanyard is attached securely to
operator before operating the
outboard motor.
9. Have your closest authorized
Marine dealer check your recoil
starter system and correct the
problem, so you can use the recoil
starter.
The recoil starter assembly should
be reinstalled after the recoil starter
is working again. Install the recoil
starter assembly with the engine
stopped.
Exposed moving parts can cause
injury.
• Do not operate the outboard
motor without the engine
cover.
• Use extreme care when
installing the engine cover.
