WARNING
EWM01842
Failure to attach the engine shut-off
cord could result in a runaway boat if
operator is ejected. Attach the engine
shut-off cord to a secure place on your
clothing, or your arm or leg while oper-
ating. Do not attach the cord to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
cord where it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing 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.
1.
If the engine shut-off cord is equipped,
attach it to a secure place on your cloth-
ing, or your arm or leg. Then install the
clip on the other end of the cord into the
engine shut-off switch.
2.
Place the throttle lever in the start posi-
tion.
WARNING! The propeller rotates
whenever the engine is running. Do
not move the throttle control lever
from the start position during warm-
up. The boat could unexpectedly start
to move, which could result in an acci-
dent.
