Starter will not operate
If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started manually with
an emergency starter rope. However, the en-
gine cannot be started manually if the battery
voltage is low. If the battery is discharged to 9
volts or below, the electric fuel pump will not
operate.
WARNING
EWM01022
●
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
●
When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not operate.
Make sure the remote control lever is in
neutral. Otherwise the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could re-
sult in an accident.
●
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
●
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting 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.
●
Make sure no one is standing behind
you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure some-
one.
