Starting The Engine - Suzuki DF25 Manuel Du Propriétaire

 WARNING
Failure to properly attach the emergency
stop switch cord or to take proper pre-
cautions to help ensure that the emer-
gency stop switch works as intended may
result in serious injury or death to the
operator or passengers.
Always take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the emergency stop
switch cord is fastened securely to the
operator's wrist or to an appropriate
clothing area (belt etc.).
• Ensure that no obstructions impede or
restrict emergency stop switch opera-
tion.
• Be careful not to pull the stop switch
cord or knock out the lock plate during
normal operation. The motor will stop
abruptly, and the loss of forward
motion may unexpectedly throw occu-
pants forward.
NOTE:
There is a spare plastic lock plate for temporary
use only. Remove it from the cord and place in
a safe place on the boat. However, if you lose
the original cord and lock plate, they should be
replaced as soon as possible.

STARTING THE ENGINE

 WARNING
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide,
a dangerous gas that is difficult to detect
because it is colorless and odorless.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
death or severe injury.
Never start the engine or let it run indoors
or where there is little or no ventilation.
NOTE:
• Do not repeatedly open and close the throttle
before starting the engine because this out-
board motor has an accelerator pump.
If you do so, the accelerator pump will send
additional fuel into the engine, creating an air/
fuel mixture too rich for the engine to start.
• If the engine fails to start, check the emer-
gency stop switch lock plate. If the lock plate
is not in position, the engine cannot be
started.
• The starter motor can operate even with the
lock plate not in position; however, the engine
cannot be started.
Start the engine using one of the starting
procedures described below:
RECOIL STARTER MODEL
