2005 Johnson 25 30 hp PL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

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
