Impact damage
WARNING
The outboard motor can be seriously damaged
by a collision while operating or trailering.
Damage could make the outboard motor
unsafe to operate.
If the outboard motor hits an object in the water,
follow the procedure below.
1.
Stop the engine immediately.
2. Inspect the control system and all compo-
nents for damage. Also inspect the boat for
damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return to
the nearest harbor slowly and carefully.
4. Inspect the outboard motor before
operating it again.
Starter will not operate
If the starter mechanism does not operate (the
engine cannot be cranked with the starter), the
engine can be started with an emergency starter
rope.
A WARNING
WARNING
•
Use this procedure only for
emergency engine starting to return to the
nearest port for repairs.
• When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-gear
protection device does not operate. Make
sure that the shift lever is in the neutral
position.
Otherwise, the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which could
result in an accident.
• Attach the engine shut-off cord to a
se- cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
• Do not attach the cord to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
cord where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
•
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord
during normal operation. Loss of engine
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.
•
Make sure that no one is standing
behind you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure someone.
