16 17Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Lossof engine power means the loss of most steering control. Also, with-out engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause peo-ple and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.3.Place the throttle grip in the "START" (start)position.4.Place the choke knob in the "START" (start)position. After the engine starts, return the kn-ob to the "RUN" (run) position.NOTE:When restarting a warm engine, place the choke knob in the "RUN" (run) position.If the choke knob is left in the "START" (start) position while the engine isrunning, the engine will run poorly or stall.5.Pull the manual starter handle slowly untilyou feel resistance. Then give a strong pullstraight out to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.6.After the engine starts, slowly return the m-anual starter handle to the original position before releasing it.7.Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.NOTE:When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up.If the engine does not start on the first try, repeat the procedure. If the enginefails to start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a small amount (between 1/8and 1/4) and try again. Also if the engine is warm and fails to start, open thethrottle a same amout and try to start the engine again.Warming up engineManual start models1. After starting the engine, return the choke knob to the halfway position.For approximately the first 5 minutes after starting, warm up the engine byoperating at one fifth throttle or less. After the engine has warmed up, pushthe choke knob in fully. Failure to do so will shorten engine life.NOTE:If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.In temperatures of -5 or less, leave the choke knob pulled out fully for app-roximately 30 seconds after starting.2. Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole.CAUTION:A flow of water from the hole on the exha-ust cover shows that the water pump is p-umping water through the cooling passa-ges. If water is not flowing out of the holeat all times while the engine is running,overheating and serious damage couldoccur. Stop the engine and check whetherthe cooling water inlet on the lower caseor the cooling water pilot hole is blocked.Consult your dealer if the problem cannotbe located and corrected.ShiftingBefore shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you.CAUTION:To change the boat direction or shifting position from forward to rever-se or viceversa, first close the throttle so that the engine idles (or runsat low speeds.)Forward (tilller handle and remote control models)Tiller control models1.
