ENGINE STARTING
Open the fuel shut-off by turning the valve knob so
its handle is vertical.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.

WARNING
IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage, DO NOT
operate engine above the START position in NEU-

Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to
result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and
objects before starting engine or operating
boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller,
even when the engine is off. Blades can be
sharp and the propeller can continue to turn
even after the engine is off. Always shut off
the engine when near people in the water.
Start-up (Cold Engine)
Starting a cold engine normally requires use of the
engine choke. Slide the choke knob all the way up
to the “Closed” position.
BEFORE START-UP
Review and follow Break-In if the engine is new.
You MUST supply water to the engine before at-
tempting to start it. Engine damage can occur
quickly. Refer to Engine Overheating or Flushing.
