SAFETY MEASURES — General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment
and excitement of boating there are some ba-
sic  rules  that  should  be  observed  and  fol-
lowed by any boater. Some rules may be new
to you and others may be common sense or
obvious... irrespective,  take them seriously!
Failure to follow this safety information and
safe boating rules could result in injury to you,
your passengers or other water users.
This  Operator’s  Guide  uses  the  following  signal
words   identifying   important    safety   messages.
These safety alert signal words mean:
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
DANGER
Become completely familiar with the control
and operation of your boat and motor before
embarking on your first trip or taking on a pas-
senger(s). If you have not had the opportunity
to do so with your DEALER, practice driving
in a suitable area and feel the response of
each control. Be familiar with all controls be-
fore applying the throttle above idle speed.
As the operator, you are    in control and   re-
sponsible for safe operation.

tion  which,  if  not  avoided,  WILL  result  in
death or serious injury.
WARNING

which, if not avoided, CAN result in severe
injury or death.
SAFETY MEASURES — Operation
Be  sure  at  least  one  of   your  passengers
knows how to handle your boat in case of an
emergency.
CAUTION
All passengers should know the location of
emergency equipment and how to use it.
Indicates  a  potentially  hazardous  situation
which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or
moderate personal injury or property dam-
age.  It  also  may  be  used  to  alert  against
unsafe practices.

devices must be  in good condition and suit-
able for your type of boat. Always comply with

sult in serious injury or death. Do not allow
anyone near a propeller, even when the en-
gine is off. Propeller blades can be sharp and
can continue to turn even after the engine is
shut  off.  Always  shut  off  the  engine  when
boat is near people in the water.
IMPORTANT: Identifies  information  that  will  help
prevent damage to machinery and appears next to
information that controls correct assembly and op-
eration of the product.
Although  the  mere  reading   of  such  information
does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding
and application of the information will promote the
correct use of your outboard engine.
