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.
1. If the engine shut-off cord is equipped, at-
tach it to a secure place on your clothing,
or your arm or leg. Then install the clip on
the other end of the cord into the engine
shut-off switch.
2. Place the throttle lever in the start posi-
tion. WARNING! The propeller rotates
whenever the engine is running. Do
not move the throttle control lever
from the start position during warm-
up. The boat could unexpectedly start
to move, which could result in an acci-
dent.
[EWM00101]
3. Place the choke knob in the start position.
After the engine starts, return the knob to
the home position.
