than One Star-Low-Emission engines.

Have an approved personal flotation de-
vice (PFD) on board for every occupant. It
is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever
boating. At a minimum, children and non-
swimmers should always wear PFDs, and
everyone should wear PFDs when there
are potentially hazardous boating condi-
tions.

Gasoline is highly flammable, and its va-
pors are flammable and explosive. Handle

there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel be-

q
Before mounting or operating the outboard
motor, read this entire manual. Reading it
should give you an understanding of the
motor and its operation.
Before operating the boat, read any own-
er’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it
and all labels. Be sure you understand
each item before operating.
Do not overpower the boat with this out-
board motor. Overpowering the boat could
result in loss of control. The rated power of
the outboard should be equal to or less
than the rated horsepower capacity of the
boat. If the rated horsepower capacity of
the boat is unknown, consult the dealer or
boat manufacturer.

could make the motor unfit or unsafe to
use.
Incorrect propeller selection and incorrect
use may not only cause engine damage,
but also adversely affect fuel consumption.
Consult your dealer for correct use.
Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak-
ing drugs. About 50% of all boating fatali-
ties involve intoxication.
q Check throttle, shift, and steering for prop-
er operation before starting the engine.
q Attach the engine stop switch lanyard cord
to a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating. If you acciden-
