Emergency starting procedures
If the starter does not operate, the engine may be started with an
emergency starter rope.
Carry out the following operations :
remove the top cowling; place the gear-shift lever in the neutral position "
N ", and the throttle-grip in the start position and check the installation of
the lock-plate on the engine stop switch (For the models with electric start,
turn the switch key in the ON position). Insert the knotted end of the
emergency starter rope into the notch in the flywheel rotor, wind the rope
two turns clockwise, then pull strongly to start. repeat if necessary.

When starting the engine with the emergency starter rope, it is
very important to make sure that nothing can get entangled in
the engine. A rotating flywheel is very dangerous. never try to
replace the top cowling when the engine is running. Proceed at
once to the nearest port to get the engine repaired. Take care
to prevent water splashing onto the flywheel.
RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE
A SELVA outboard motor is tested completely in our workshop and it is
partially run in a tank. A second test is done by the concessionaire It is
always advisable to complete the running in procedure in the following
way:
.
During the first 15 running hours you must use a fuel with oil at
3%.
During the first 3 running hours do not accelerate too much,
and during the following hours you can accelerate properly but
only for short periods.
After about 20 hours you have to change entirely the gearbox-
oil (see the greasing sectioning this manual).
A good running in will allow you to obtain a good performance
from your motor and a longer endurance of it.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
Emergency stopping procedures.
In an emergency you must stop your motor pulling the engine
stop switch lanyard.
To start the motor again you have to install again the lock plate
on the engine stop switch.
