WARNING

Fuel hose to fuel connector
The engine cover is a machinery guard. DO
NOT operate your outboard with the cover
off unless you are performing maintenance,
and then be careful to keep hands, hair, and
clothing clear of all moving parts. Contact
with moving parts could cause injury.
If equipped, open vent screw on fuel tank’s filler
cap.
Squeeze fuel primer bulb, outlet end up, until firm.
WARNING
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to
result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and
objects before starting engine or operating
boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller,
even when the engine is off. Blades can be
sharp and the propeller can continue to turn
even after the engine is off. Always shut off
the engine when near people in the water.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key switch.
Snap the lanyard to a secure place on the opera-
tor’s clothing or life vest — not where it might tear
away instead of activating the stop switch.
BEFORE START-UP
Verify crankcase oil level before start-up. Refer to
Crankcase Oil.
Review and follow Break-In (10 hours) if the en-
gine is new.
You MUST supply water to the engine before at-
tempting to start it. Engine damage can occur
quickly. Refer to Engine Overheating or Flushing.
Be sure the engine is in the normal operating posi-
tion. Refer to Tilting.
