When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up. If the engine does not start on the first try, repeat the
procedure. If the engine fails to start after 4- 5 tries, open the throttle (between 1/8 and 1/4), and try again.
Warming up Engine
1. After starting the engine, return the choke knob to the halfway position. For approximately the first 5
minutes after starting, warm up the engine by operating at one fifth throttle or less. After the engine has
warmed up, push the choke knob in fully.
If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.
With temperatures of -5℃ or less, leave the choke knob pulled out fully for
approximately 30 seconds after starting.
2. Check for steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole. (K)
If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, stop the engine and check
whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is blocked.
Shifting
Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles near you.
To shift from forward to reverse or vice versa, first close the throttle so that
the engine idles (or runs at low speeds).
Forward
1. Place the throttle grip in the fully closed position. (L)
2. Move the gear shift lever quickly and firmly from neutral to forward. (M)
Reverse
When operating in reverse, go slowly. Do not open the throttle more than
half. Otherwise the boat could become unstable, which could result in loss
of control and an accident.
