Trouble Recovery
●Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
●Be sure no one is standing behind you when pulling the starter rope. It could whip behind you and injure someone.
●An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very dangerous. Keep loose clothing and other objects away when starting the en- gine. Use the emergency starter rope only as instructed. Do not touch the fly- wheel or other moving parts when the engine is running. Do not install the starter mechanism or top cowling after the engine is running.
●Do not touch the ignition coil, spark plug wire, spark plug cap, or other electrical components when starting or operating the motor. You could get an electrical shock.
