(3) Place the throttle grip in the “
”
(start) position. After the engine starts,
return the throttle to the fully closed po-
sition.
(4) Turn the main switch to “
” (start),
and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
(5) Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “
” (on).
NOTICE:
Never turn
the main switch to “
” (start)
while the engine is running. Do not
keep the starter motor turning for
more than 5 seconds. If the starter
motor is turned continuously for
more than 5 seconds, the battery will
be quickly discharged, thus making it
impossible to start the engine. The
starter can also be damaged. If the
engine will not start after 5 seconds
of cranking, return the main switch to
“
” (on), wait 10 seconds, then
crank the engine again.

TIP:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 51.
If the engine is warm and fails to start,
open the throttle slightly and try to start the
engine again. If the engine still fails to
start, see page 91.

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) Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
