● 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.
