If the electric starter fails or the battery’s voltage is
too low to power the starter, use the cord from the
tool kit and these instructions to start your engine
manually.
Turn the key switch to the ON position ONLY, listen
carefully for the electric fuel pump to cycle.
While seated, pull the starter cord quickly and com-
pletely. The first pull is needed to energize the elec-
trical system. Rewind the starter cord and pull
again. Repeat as needed until the engine starts.
IMPORTANT: The battery must have enough re-
serve voltage to activate the electric pump or the
engine will not start using the emergency starting
procedures. Do your best to determine battery sta-
tus by listening for the electric fuel pump audible cy-
cle before continuing the emergency starting
procedures. The electric fuel pump cycles each
time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON.
Place key switch in OFF position with the motor in
normal operating position. Refer to Power Trim
and Tilt.
Move the control handle to NEUTRAL, then remove
engine cover.

If your engine’s electrical system is functional, the
alternator should charge the battery once the en-

electrical components.
