B. Fuel Injected Engines (EFI)
On fuel injected engines, starting the engine is much
easier and faster. It is not necessary to use the throttle
while in neutral to cold-start the engine. Simply turn the
key and allow the engine to warm up.
Other lubrication, adjustment and maintenance instruc-
tions are provided by the control manufacturer and are
included in the owner’s information packet.
For additional information, refer to the section on “Start-
ing and Operation” in the engine manufacturer’s manual
included in the owner’s information packet.

es within their design. This device prevents the engine
from being started while the shift lever is in any position
other than the neutral position. If the engine will not start,
slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary to
locate the neutral position and disengage the safety cut-
out switch. Control or cable adjustments are required to
correct this condition should it persist. See your
Four Winns dealer for necessary control and cable ad-
justments.

rosion, wear, cable jacket cracks or other deterioration
require immediate system servicing. Replace all dam-
aged components.
