WARNING
Before starting the engine, make sure
●
that the boat is tightly moored and that
you can steer clear of any obstructions.
Be sure there are no swimmers in the
water near you.
When the air vent screw is loosened,
●
gasoline vapor will be released. Gaso-
line is highly flammable, and its vapors
are flammable and explosive. Refrain
from smoking, and keep away from
open flames and sparks while loosen-
ing the air vent screw.
This product emits exhaust gases
●
which contain carbon monoxide, a col-
orless, odorless gas which could cause
brain damage or death when inhaled.
Symptoms include nausea, dizziness,
and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cab-
in areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking
exhaust outlets.
1. If there is an air vent screw on the fuel
tank cap, loosen it 2 or 3 turns.
2. If there is a fuel joint or a fuel cock on the
boat, firmly connect the fuel line to the
joint or open the fuel cock.

WARNING
Failure to attached engine shut-off cord
●
could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut-
off cord to a secure place on your cloth-
ing, or your arm or leg while operating.
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.
1. Place the remote control lever in neutral.
