Trouble Recovery
46
WARNING
EWM01462
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
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.
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, spark plug
wire, spark plug cap, or other electrical
components when starting or operating
the motor. You could get an electrical
shock.
Do not move the throttle lever above the
start position when starting the engine.
Because the propeller rotates whenever
the engine is running, the boat could un-
expectedly start to move, which could
result in an accident.
