Trouble Recovery

●
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 that no one is standing be-
hind 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 en-
gine. 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 outboard motor. You could get an
electrical shock.
Before performing the following procedure,
make sure to read the emergency starting la-
bel on the manual starter/flywheel magnet
cover.
1.
Move the gear shift lever to the neutral
position.
2.
Remove the top cowling.
3.
Loosen the nut, and then disconnect the
start-in-gear protection cable.
4.
Remove the manual starter/flywheel
magnet cover by removing the bolts.
