OPERATION
If the fast idle control(s) was used
to start the engine, return the
control(s) to the normal operating
position as the engine warms up.
During the warm-up period, check
the oil pressure indicator (p. ),
overheat indicator (p. ), and
cooling system indicator (p. ).
Leave the alternator cover off, but
install the engine cover (p. )
and lock it in place by latching the
engine cover latch.
If it was necessary to remove the
emergency stop switch lanyard
from you to perform the
emergency starting procedure, be
sure the lanyard is attached
securely to operator before
operating the outboard motor.
Have your closest authorized
Honda Marine dealer check your
electrical system and correct the
problem so that you can use the
electric starter.
