PRIMING BULB

SWITCH CLIP

H Type (tiller handle)

Check to be sure there are no fuel
leaks before starting the engine.

Hold the priming bulb with the outlet
end higher than the inlet end.
Squeeze the priming bulb several
times, until it feels firm, indicating
that fuel has reached the carburetor.

Put the emergency stop switch clip
in the engine stop switch, and
attach the lanyard to your PFD
(Personal Flotation Device) or to
your wrist, as shown.

The emergency stop switch clip
and lanyard system is a safety
device that will stop the engine if
you fall away from the controls
while operating the boat.

Always attach the lanyard to your
PFD, or to your wrist, before
starting the engine.

The engine will not start or run,
unless the switch clip is in the
engine stop switch.

Do not touch the priming bulb with
the engine running or when tilting up
the outboard motor. The carburetor
could overflow.
