SAFETY INFORMATION

Emergency Stop/Key Switch
A combination emergency stop switch and
key switch is a feature of Evinrude prewired
remote controls and all Evinrude control wir-
ing kits.
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.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key
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. Disconnecting the clip and
lanyard will stop the engine and prevent the
boat from becoming a runaway if the driver
moves beyond the range of the lanyard. If the
lanyard is too long, it can be shortened by
knotting or looping it. DO NOT cut and retie
the lanyard. In an emergency situation, the
engine can be started without the clip in place.
Follow the normal starting procedure. Rein-
stall a clip as soon as possible.
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.
IMPORTANT: Your emergency stop switch
can be effective only when in good working
condition. At each outing, inspect clip and lan-
yard for cuts, breaks, or wear. Replace worn
or damaged parts.
WARNING
The engine cover is a machinery guard.
DO NOT operate your outboard with
the cover off unless you are perform-
ing maintenance or emergency start-
ing, and then be careful to keep hands,
hair, and clothing clear of all moving
parts. Contact with moving parts could
cause injury.
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.

DANGER
Always use the safety lanyard when
operating your boat to help prevent a
runaway boat and reduce the risk of
personal injury or death.
