SAFETY INFORMATION
ENGINE STARTING
Before starting the outboard:
WARNING
•
•
Check fuel and oil levels
Make sure fuel line is connected
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.
• Make sure fuel selector switch is in the correct position
for the fuel being used.
• Squeeze the fuel primer bulb until firm
• Move the tilt/run lever to the RUN position
NOTICE
You MUST supply water to the engine
DANGER
before starting. Water pump damage can occur in just
a few seconds.
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.
Be sure the water intake screens are below the water sur-
face.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop 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.
WARNING
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.
