ing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.

Be sure the water intake screens are below
the water surface.
Engine Starting
Connect the clip to the emergency stop
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch.

WARNING
Always use the safety lanyard when
operating your boat to help prevent a
runaway boat and reduce the risk of
personal injury or death.

Slowest idle position
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electron-
ic idle control system. After the engine starts,
the engine management module (EMM) au-
tomatically increases idle speed slightly. Idle
speed will decrease as the engine warms up.
