Starting engine
WARNING
EWM01600
Before starting the engine, make sure that
the boat is tightly moored and that you can
steer clear of any obstructions. Be sure
there are no swimmers in the water near
you.

WARNING
EWM01840
●
Failure to attached engine shut-off cord
could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut-off
cord to a secure place on your clothing,
or your arm or leg while operating. Do
not attach the cord to clothing that could
tear loose. Do not route the cord where
it could become entangled, preventing 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.

tral.

cure place on your clothing, or your arm
