emergency starter rope.

Use this procedure only in an emer-
gency and only to return to port for
repairs.

When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not oper-
ate. Make sure the transmission is in
neutral. Otherwise, the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which
could result in an accident.

Be sure no one is standing behind you
when pulling the starter rope. It could
whip behind you and injure someone.

An unguarded rotating flywheel is very
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the
engine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.

Do not touch the ignition coil, high
voltage wire, spark plug cap or other
electrical components when starting of
operating the motor. You could be
shocked.
