(3) Attach the engine shut-off cord to your left

wrist, and then attach the clip to the en-
gine shut-off switch.

WARNING

EWJ00580

Check that the engine shut-off cord is not
frayed or broken, and keep it free from the
handlebars so that the engine stops if the
operator falls off. The engine shut-off cord
may not pull free if wrapped around the
handlebars when the operator falls off, al-
lowing the watercraft to continue to run
and cause an accident.

NOTE:

It is not possible to start the engine with the
clip removed from the engine shut-off switch.

(4) Push the start switch (green button), and

then release it as soon as the engine
starts to run.

NOTE:

The engine will not start if the throttle lever is
squeezed.

CAUTION:

ECJ00480

●

Never push the start switch while the en-
gine is running.

Do not operate the start switch for more
than 5 seconds, otherwise the battery
will be discharged and the engine will
not start. Also, the starter motor could
be damaged. If the engine does not start
in 5 seconds, release the start switch,
wait 15 seconds, and then try again.
