SAFETY MEASURES — Installation and
Maintenance
Be familiar with the waters you are operating 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 person-
al injury.
The outboard must be correctly installed. Failure to
correctly install the outboard could result in serious
injury, death or property damage. We strongly rec-
ommend that your Dealer install your outboard to en-
sure proper installation.
Respect no wake zones, rights of other water users
and the environment. As the "skipper" and owner of
a boat you are responsible for damage to other boats
caused by the wake of your boat. Allow no one to
throw refuse overboard.
Do not overpower your boat by using an engine that
exceeds the horsepower indicated on the boat’s ca-
pacity plate. Overpowering could result in loss of
control. If your boat has no capacity plate, contact
your Dealer or the boat’s manufacturer.
Do not operate your boat if you are under the influ-
ence of drugs or alcohol.
When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/
Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with equivalent
characteristics, including type, strength and material.
Using substandard parts could result in injury or
product malfunction.
High performance boats have a high power-to-
weight ratio. If you are not experienced in the opera-
tion of a high performance boat, do not attempt to op-
erate one at, or near, its top speed until you have
gained that experience.
Only perform service procedures which are detailed
in this Operator’s Guide. Attempting to perform main-
tenance or repair on your outboard if you are not fa-
miliar with the correct service and safety procedure
could cause personal injury or death. Further infor-
mation can be obtained from your authorized
Evinrude/Johnson Dealer. In many instances proper
tools and training are required for certain service or
repair procedures.
Become completely familiar with the control and op-
eration of your boat and outboard before embarking
on your first trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you
have not had the opportunity to do so with your Deal-
er, practice driving in a suitable area and feel the re-
sponse of each control. Be familiar with all controls
before applying the throttle above idle speed. As the
operator, you are in control and responsible for safe
operation.
Maintain your boat and engine in top condition at all
times. Adhere to the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
on page 37.
Operate your boat and outboard prudently and have
fun. Do not forget that all persons must assist other
boaters in case of emergency.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating propeller; re-
move propeller before flushing or before performing
any maintenance.
