OPERATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
ENGINE STARTING
Refer to the ROUTINE INSPECTION CHECKLIST on
page 31 for pre-launch checks before using your Evinrude
E-TEC outboard.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate
ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accumulate
in confined 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 occur quickly.
Be sure the water intake screens are below the water sur-
face.
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 activat-
ing 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 performing maintenance or emergency starting,
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
Always shut off the outboard when your boat is near
people who are in the water.
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.
IMPORTANT: In an emergency situation, the engine will
start and run without the clip connected 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 21.
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.
IMPORTANT: Carefully check the function of all control
and engine systems before leaving the dock.
