Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key switch.
Snap the lanyard to a secure place on the opera-
tor’s clothing or life vest — not where it might tear
away instead of activating the stop switch.
Start-up (Cold Engine)
Starting a cold engine normally requires use of the
engine primer. To activate the primer, steadily
PUSH/HOLD the key switch IN while cranking or
running the engine.
With the fast idle lever up, activate the primer while
turning the key switch to the START position. Crank
the engine no longer that 10 seconds. Release the
key upon start-up and quickly adjust the fast idle le-
ver if the engine overspeeds.

Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL. Re-
fer to Shifting and Speed Control.
IMPORTANT: The starter motor can be damaged if
operated continuously for more than 10 seconds.
Raise the fast idle lever. The higher you raise the
fast idle lever, the faster the motor will idle in NEU-
TRAL.
Upon start-up, release the key.
If the engine did not start, release the key momen-
tarily, then try again.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON,
the warning system will self-test. Refer to Engine
Monitoring. If the warning system fails to self-test
during start-up, see your DEALER.
If your outboard does not react normally to this
starting procedure or if it fails to start, refer to Trou-
ble Check Chart.

After Engine Starts
DO NOT turn the key switch to START while the en-
gine is running. Damage to the starter system could
result.
If the engine starts but needs more fuel to prevent
stalling, briefly push the key in several times until
the engine warms and runs smoothly.
Allow the engine to idle in NEUTRAL for about 5
minutes to warm up before shifting.

exceed 1500 RPM in NEUTRAL for extended peri-
ods of time.
If the engine starts but needs more fuel to prevent
stalling, briefly push the key IN several times until
the engine warms and runs smoothly.
