2004 Johnson 40 50 hp PL 2-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

Whenever running the engine, assure there is
proper ventilation to avoid the accumulation of
carbon monoxide (CO), which is odorless, col-
orless, and tasteless, and can lead to uncon-
sciousness, brain damage, or death if inhaled
in sufficient concentrations. CO accumulation
can occur while docked, anchored, or under-
way, and in many confined areas such as the
boat cabin, cockpit, swim platform, and heads.
It  can  be  worsened  or  caused  by  weather,
mooring and operating conditions, and other
boats. Avoid exhaust fumes from your engine
or other boats, provide proper ventilation, shut
off  your  engine  when  not  needed,  and  be
aware of the risk of backdrafting and condi-
tions  that  create  CO  accumulation.  In  high
concentrations,  CO  can  be  fatal  within  min-
utes. Lower concentrations are just as lethal
over long periods of time.
Do not operate your boat if you are under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
High performance boats have a high power-
to-weight ratio. If you are not experienced in
the operation of a high performance boat, do
not attempt to operate one at, or near, its top
speed until you have gained that experience.
For  more   information,  see   your  Evinrude/
Johnson DEALER for a copy of  Introduction
to High Performance Boating, P/N 335763.
SAFETY MEASURES — Installation and
Maintenance
Outboard Installation
The outboard must be correctly installed. Fail-
ure to correctly  install the outboard could re-
sult   in   serious   injury,   death   or  property
damage.  We  strongly  recommend  that  your
DEALER install your outboard to ensure prop-
er installation.
Proceed with caution and at very low speed in
shallow water. Grounding or abrupt stops may
result in personal injury or property damage.
Also be alert for debris and objects in the wa-
ter.
Do not overpower your boat by   using an en-
gine  that  exceeds  the  horsepower  indicated
on  the  boat’s  capacity  plate.  Overpowering
could result in loss of control. If your boat has
no capacity plate, contact your DEALER or the
boat’s manufacturer.
Be familiar with the waters you are operating
in. The gearcase of this outboard extends be-
low  the  water  surface  and  could  potentially
come in contact with underwater obstructions.
Contact with underwater obstructions may re-
sult in loss of control and personal injury.
Maintenance
Avoid standing up or shifting weight suddenly
in light weight boats.
When  replacement  parts  are  required,  use
Evinrude®/Johnson® Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type,
strength   and  material.   Using   substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunc-
tion.
Keep your passengers seated in seats. The
boat’s bow, gunwale, transom and seat backs
are not intended for use as seats.
Insist on the use of personal flotation devices,
approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, by all pas-
sengers when boating conditions are hazard-
ous, and by children and nonswimmers at all
times.
Only  perform  service  procedures  which  are
detailed in this Operator’s Guide. Attempting
to perform maintenance or repair on your out-
board if you are not familiar with the correct
service and safety procedure could cause per-
sonal injury or death. Further information can
be  obtained  from  your  authorized  Evinrude/
Johnson DEALER. In many instances proper
tools and training are required for certain ser-
vice or repair procedures.
Respect no wake zones, rights of other water
users and the environment. As the "skipper"
and owner of a boat you are responsible for
damage to other boats caused by the wake of
your boat. Allow no one to throw refuse over-
board.
Maintain your boat and engine in top condition
at  all  times.  Adhere  to  the  Engine  Mainte-
nance and Inspection Schedule.
Know the marine traffic laws and obey them.
Remember,  gasoline  fumes  are   flammable
and explosive. Always adhere to the fueling
procedure contained in this Operator’s Guide
and those given to you by the fueling station.
Always verify fuel level before use and during
the ride. Apply the principle of 1/3 fuel to des-
tination, 1/3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply.
Do not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids in
any storage or engine compartments.
Operate  your  boat  and  outboard  prudently
and have fun. Do not forget that all persons
must assist other boaters in case of emergen-
cy.
Prevent injury  from contact with rotating pro-
peller; remove propeller before flushing or be-
fore performing any maintenance.
