B. Lanyard Key
NOTE
°
Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the
starter. This will extend battery and starter life sig-
nificantly.
CAUTION
Do not push the start button while the engine
is running or while the starter is still spin-
ning, as it will hasten starter wear and may
cause the starter to jam.
After the engine has started, allow it to warm up for
about 1 minute. Apply a little throttle occasionally.
Excessive idling can foul the spark plugs.
Check that water comes out of the bypass outlet
in the right side of the hull when the throttle is ap-
plied. This indicates that cooling water is circulat-
ing. If there is none, shut off the engine and find
the source of the trouble. When the exhaust sys-
tem is dry, it can take up to 15 seconds for water
to appear at the bypass outlet.
