                              the throttle lever completely produces only
                              minimum thrust. If  you are traveling at
                              speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly                 2

                             Keep away from the intake grate while the
                              engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose
                              clothing, or PFD straps can become entan-
