SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
ENGINE STARTING
Refer to the for pre-launch checks before us-
ing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or

contains carbon monoxide which, if
inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
NOTICE
engine
You MUST supply water to the
before attempting to start it.
Engine damage can occur quickly.
Be sure the water intake screens are below
the water surface.
Emergency Stop/Key Switch
A combination emergency stop switch and
key switch is a feature of Evinrude prewired
remote controls and all Evinrude control wir-
ing kits.
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.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone near a propel-
ler, even when the engine is off.
Blades can be sharp and the propel-
ler 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 out-
board 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.

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.
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.
In an emergency situation, the engine can be
started without the clip in place. Follow the
normal starting procedure. Reinstall a clip as
soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: Your emergency stop switch
can be effective only when in good working
