EMERGENCY STARTING
Remove the three screws securing the flywheel
cover. Lift off the flywheel cover.
WARNING
When using Emergency Starting proce-
dures, the start-in-neutral-only feature is
inoperative. Make sure shift lever is in NEU-
TRAL position to prevent injuries from
movement when the
unexpected boat
engine starts.
The engine cover is a machinery guard. To
prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents, keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of
powerhead.
Tie a knot in one end of the emergency starter cord.
Thread the small bar from the tools kit halfway
through one knot so it forms a handle.
Prevent electric shock by keeping clear of
the ignition coils and spark plug leads when
the motor is being started or is running.
Shock can cause serious personal injury
under certain conditions.
Connect clip to the emergency stop/key switch.
Place knot of starter cord in notch on flywheel pul-
ley. Wrap cord around pulley clockwise.
DO NOT turn flywheel by hand. Use starter
cord only.
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.
Move the shift lever to NEUTRAL.

If your engine’s electrical system is functional, the
alternator should charge the battery once the en-
gine is running. If it is not, the engine will quit run-
ning once the battery voltage is too low to power the
electrical components.
Remove the engine cover. Disconnect the breather
hose from the silencer cover. Loosen the outlet
tube clamp screw.
DO NOT attempt to replace the flywheel cover or
the engine cover while the engine is running.
