PRIMING BULB

LHT Type (tiller handle)

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.

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

Do not squeeze the priming bulb
when the engine is running because
that could flood the carburetors.

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

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.

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

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