STARTER WILL NOT OPERATE

If the starter mechanism does not operate
(engine  cannot  be  cranked  with  the
starter), the engine can be started with an
emergency starter rope.

w

8

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

8

When  the  emergency  starter  rope  is
used  to  start  the  engine,  the  start-in-
gear  protection  device  does  not  oper-
ate.  Make  sure  the  gear  shift  lever/
remote  control  lever  is  in  neutral.
Otherwise,  the  boat  could  unexpected-
ly  start  to  move,  which  could  result  in
an accident.

8

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

8

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.

8

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.
