5. If the “LOCK” mode was chosen previ-
ously, choose the “START” mode before
starting the engine. (See pages 2-20 to
2-21 for selecting “PADLOC” mode.)
NOTE:
@
● If the initial setting of the PADLOC has not
been done, the “START” mode is auto-
matically selected.
● If you have previously chosen “LOCK”
mode, the engine will not start unless the
correct code is entered. This selects the
“START” mode.

6. While lightly squeezing the throttle lever,
push the start switch (green button).
WARNING
@
On this watercraft, the engine is con-
nected directly to the jet pump. Starting
the engine immediately generates some
thrust. Apply only enough throttle to
keep the engine running.

7. Release the start switch as soon as the
engine starts to run.
CAUTION:
@
● Never push the start switch while the
engine 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 may be damaged. If the engine
does not start in 5 seconds, release
the start switch, wait 15 seconds, and
try again.
@
8. After the engine has warmed up, push
the choke knob in to its original position.
