Rotating parts
Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the
engine stops if the operator falls overboard
or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat
from running away under power and leaving
people stranded, or running over people or
objects.
Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a
secure place on your clothing or your arm or
leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave
the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-
tach the cord to clothing that could tear
loose, or route the cord where it could be-
come entangled, preventing it from function-
ing.
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, PFD
straps, etc. can become entangled with inter-
nal rotating parts of the engine, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-
sible. Do not remove or replace the cowling
with the engine running.
Only operate the engine with the cowling re-
moved according to the specific instructions
in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewel-
ry, clothing, PFD straps, etc. away from any
exposed moving parts.
