OPERATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
ENGINE STARTING
Refer to  the Routine  Inspection  Checklist
on page 30 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/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.
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
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.

Clip
Emergency stop clip / key switch
Lanyard
IMPORTANT: In an emergency situation, the
engine will start and run  without the clip con-
nected  to   the   key  switch.   The  operator
should  always  use  the clip  and  lanyard
anytime  the  engine  is  running.  Refer  to
Emergency Stop/Key Switch on page 23.
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.
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.
