ENGINE STARTING
Move tilt/run lever to RUN. Be sure the engine is in
normal operating position. Refer to Tilting and Tilt
Support.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
WARNING
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.

RUN position
If you will be using a battery, connect it as instructed
in Battery.
Electric start models can be started manually and
operated without a battery.
DANGER
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.
When not connected to a battery, cover the
positive (+) battery cable’s ring terminal
with the attached boot to prevent the charg-
ing system from sparking.
Do not wrap the loose battery cable around
the engine as a way of storing it. Doing so
can restrict steering or damage the cable, or
both. Loop the cable and hang it close to
the engine.
BEFORE START-UP
Do not connect electrical equipment to the
engine’s charging system. The connected
equipment and the engine could both be
damaged.
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.
