STARTING THE ENGINE – REMOTE CONTROL MODELS
7
Do not advance the neutral fast idle speed feature on the remote control. The
enrichener system will automatically increase engine speed for starting and
warm-up.
Note: Allow the ignition key to return to the “on” position after engine starts.
8 Turn ignition key to the START position. If engine fails to start in ten seconds,
return key to ON position, wait 30 seconds and try again.
9 After engine starts, check for a steady stream of water flowing out of the water
pump indicator hole.
IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole,
stop engine and check cooling water intake for obstruction. No obstruction
may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine
damage.
Warming Up Engine
Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for 3
minutes.

GEAR SHIFTING
IMPORTANT: Observe the following:
• Never shift outboard into gear unless engine speed is at idle.
• Do not shift outboard into Reverse when the engine is not running.
1 Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: Forward (F),
Neutral (out of gear), and Reverse (R).
2 When shifting, always stop at neutral position and allow the engine speed to
return to idle.
3 Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.
4 After shifting outboard into gear, advance the lever further to increase speed.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
5
Reduce engine speed and shift outboard to neutral position. Turn ignition key
to OFF position.

EMERGENCY STARTING
If the starter system fails, use the spare starter rope (provided) and follow
procedure.
1 Remove flywheel cover.
2 Shift outboard to neutral (N) position.
3 Turn the ignition key to ON position.
WARNING
When using emergency starter rope to start engine, the start-in-gear pro-
tection provided by the remote control is inoperative. Make sure to set the
outboard gear shift into neutral to prevent outboard from starting in gear.
Sudden unexpected acceleration could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent getting an electrical shock, DO NOT touch any ignition com-
ponent, wiring, or spark plug wire when starting or running the engine.

EMERGENCY STARTING
WARNING
The exposed moving flywheel can cause serious injury. Keep your hands,
hair, clothing, tools, and other objects away from engine when starting
or running the engine.
Do not attempt to reinstall the flywheel cover or top cowl when engine is
running.
4 Place the starter rope knot into the flywheel notch and wind the rope clockwise
around the flywheel.
5 Pull the rope slowly until resistance is felt.
6 Remove rope ans reposition the rope knot in one of the flywheel notches within
the approximate location of “a”. Wind the rope approximately 3/4 to one turn
clockwise around flywheel. Do not exceed one turn.
7 Pull the starter rope to start the engine.
