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.
• Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation. Forward (F), Neutral (N) and Reverse (R).
• When shifting, always stop at neutral position and allow the engine speed to return to idle.
• Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.
• After shifting outboard into gear, advance the lever further to increase speed.
Stopping The Engine
Reduce engine speed and shift outboard to neutral position. Turn ignition key to "OFF" position.
Emergency Starting
NOTE: Models with Electronic Fuel Injection cannot be started manually.
If the starter system fails, use the spare starter rope (provided) and follow procedure.
1. Remove flywheel cover.
WARNING
When using emergency starter rope to start engine, the start in gear protection device 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.
2. Shift outboard to neutral (N) position.
