2.Attach the clip 1 to the engine shut-off switch 2. Also, attach the engine shut- off cord 3 to your left wrist.

WARNING

Check that the engine shut-off cord is not frayed or broken, and keep it free from the handlebars so the engine stops if the operator falls off. The engine shut-off cord may not pull free if wrapped around the handlebars when the operator falls off, allowing the watercraft to continue to run and cause an accident.

NOTE:

It is not possible to start the engine with the clip removed from the engine shut-off switch.

3. Push the start switch (green button).

NOTE:

The engine will not start if the throttle lever is squeezed.

4.Release the start switch as soon as the engine starts to run.

CAUTION:

Never push the start switch while the engine is running.

Do not operate the start switch for more than 5 seconds, otherwise the battery will be discharged and the engine will not start. Also, the starter motor may be damaged. If the engine does not start in 5 seconds, release the start switch, wait 15 seconds, and then try again.
