Instructions / Assembly

Starting Engine

1. Loosen the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap.

One turn for built-in tank. (D)

2. Open the fuel cock. (E)

3. Place the gear shift lever in neutral. (F)

NOTE:

Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to secure place on your clothing,

or your arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard

into the engine stop switch. (G)

The engine must be started in neutral, otherwise damage to the starter

can occur. Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do

not route the lanyard where it could become entangled, preventing it from

functioning. Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation.

Loss of engine power means the loss of steering control. Also, without

engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and

objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

4. Place the throttle grip in the “START” (start) position. (H)

5. Pull out the choke knob fully. (I)

NOTE:

It is not necessary to use the choke when starting a warm engine.

If the choke is left in the “START” position while the engine is

running, the engine will run poorly or stall.

6. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance.

Then give a strong pull straight to crank and start the engine. Repeat

if necessary. (J)

7. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to its

original position before releasing it.

8. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.
