Hand-Held Starter
 1. Fully charge a 7.2V sub-C battery pack and
install it in the starter as shown.

2. Slide the starting wand (which is stored inside
the battery cover) into the end of the starter,
then replace the battery cover.
Operation
Fill the fuel tank with 20% glow fuel and attach a
fully charged glow driver to the glow plug.
Turn on the radio system and insert the starting
wand into the Tiger Drive; actuate the starting
switch until the engine begins to run.
Note : Stop operation immediately
if the engine enters a hydro-locked
condition as serious engine damage
may occur if operation is continued.
Remove the glow plug, invert the
boat and operate the starter to
remove raw fuel before resuming
normal operation.
You may have to “blip” the throttle on the
transmitter (applying throttle on/off) while trying to
start the engine. New engines are harder to start
because of the tight piston/sleeve fit. Never start
an engine at 1⁄2 to full throttle, as this will cause
over-revving which may cause premature wear and
breakage.
During the first tank of fuel, advance the idle via the
idle adjustment screw more than normal to prevent
stalling at idle due to the rich fuel mixture for
break-in. Pinch the fuel line nearest the carburetor
to stop the engine.
