EMERGENCY STARTING PROCEDURES
If the motor doesn't start because of a damage at the starting system, it is
possible to use the emergency starting cable.
Models with manual start
When starting the motor with the emergency starter rope, the
security device against starting when the gear is selected
doesn't work. Be sure that the gear lever is at neutral position
N; in different case, the boat might roll continuously during the
starting, causing serious damages to the people on board.
Procedure
1 Put the gear lever at neutral position
2 Take away the cover using the levers
3 Take away the flywheel cover unscrewing the two screws
4 Insert the extremity of the cable positioning it with the knot in the
groove of the flywheel rotor, wind the cable one or two turns in a
clockwise direction
5 Pull it to let the motor start. Repeat if necessary
Picture No.62
Models with electric start
1 Put the control lever on N
2 Turn the starting key on the position ON
3 Take away the cover using the levers
4 Insert the extremity off the cable positioning it with the knob in the
groove of the flywheel rotor, wind the cable one or two turns in a
clockwise direction
5 Pull it to let the motor start. Repeat if necessary
Picture No.63
In case of electric start motors it's not possible to start the
motor if the control lever isn't at the neutral position and the
starting key isn't at ON position.
During the starting procedures or during the functioning of the
motor don't touch the ignition coil, the high-voltage cable, the
spark-plug cap or any other electrical parts at high voltage.
Before pulling the emergency starting cable be sure that
clothes or other objects can't get entangled in the engine. The
flywheel, when operating, is very dangerous. Never try to put
on the cover when the motor is operating. Go to the nearest
port where you can have your motor repaired as soon as
possible. Be sure that the flywheel is safe from the sprinkles of
water.
