●
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to
a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating.
●
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard where it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
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.
3. Place the throttle grip in the “ ”
(start) position.
4. Pull out / turn the choke knob fully. Place
the choke knob back in to the second or
third position to warm up the engine after
starting. When the engine has fully
warmed up, replace the choke knob back
in to its home position.
