Emergency Starting - Suzuki DF4 Manuel Du Propriétaire

EMERGENCY STARTING

If you must get the engine running, but are
unable to do so because of recoil starter failure,
you can use the emergency starting procedure
to start the engine.
 WARNING
If you touch electrical components when
rope-starting the engine, you can get a
severe electrical shock.
When rope-starting the engine, be careful
not to touch electrical components such
as ignition coils or spark plug leads.
To start the engine when the starter system
fails:
1. Make sure that the motor is in "NEUTRAL"
and the emergency stop switch lock plate is
removed.
 WARNING
When you use the emergency starting
procedure, the start-in-gear protection
system will not work. If the shift lever is
not in the "NEUTRAL" position, the boat
can start off unexpectedly when the
engine is started, throwing occupants or
causing an accident.
Make sure that the shift lever is in the
"NEUTRAL" position before attempting to
start the motor using the emergency
starting procedure.
2. Remove the motor cover.
3. Remove the bolts securing the recoil starter
in place.
4. Loosen the lock nut 1, take off the NSI
cable from the bracket and separate the end
of cable from the cam 2.
5. Lift off the recoil starter assembly.
6. Tie a knot in one end of the emergency
starter rope located in the tool kit. Tie the
other end around the screw-driver handle in
the tool kit.
7. Hook the knotted end of the rope in the pul-
ley notch and wind the rope around the pul-
ley in a clockwise direction.
8. Put the emergency stop switch lock plate in
place.
9. After following steps of the normal starting
procedure, pull the emergency starter rope
sharply to start the engine.
