running away under power and leaving peo-
ple stranded, or running over people or ob-
jects.
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 engine shut-off cord to clothing that
could tear loose, or route the engine shut-off
cord where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal
flotation device (PFD) straps, etc., can be-
come entangled with internal rotating parts of
the engine, resulting in serious injury or death.

sible. Do not remove or replace the top cowl-

Only operate the engine with the top cowling
removed according to the specific instructions
in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry,
clothing, PFD straps, etc., away from any ex-
posed moving parts.
