could result in an accident.

●

Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-

cure place on your clothing, or your

arm or leg while operating the boat.

●

Do not attach the cord to clothing that

could tear loose. Do not route the cord

where it could become entangled, pre-

venting it from functioning.

●

Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-

ing 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.

●

Make 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

engine. 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 elec-

trical components when starting or op-

erating the motor. You could get an

electrical shock.
