OPERATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
ENGINE STARTING
Refer to the Routine Inspection Checklist
on page 27 for pre-launch checks before us-
ing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or
without adequate ventilation or permit
exhaust fumes to accumulate in con-
fined areas. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can
cause serious brain damage or death.
You MUST supply water to the engine before
attempting to start it. Engine damage can oc-
cur quickly.
Be sure the water intake screens are below
the water surface.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch.
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.

WARNING
Always use the safety lanyard when
operating your boat to help prevent a
runaway boat and reduce the risk of
personal injury or death.
Always shut off the outboard when your
boat is near people who are in the water.
Be familiar with the waters you are oper-
ating in. The gearcase of this outboard
extends below the water surface and
could potentially come in contact with
underwater obstructions. Contact with
underwater obstructions may result in
loss of control and personal injury.
