IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
This Operator’s Guide contains essential in-
formation to help prevent personal injury and
damage to equipment. Safety messages ap-
pear throughout this Guide in the applicable
section.
All
safety equipment and personal
floatation devices must be in good con-
dition and suitable for your type of boat.
Always comply with the regulations that
apply to your boat.
Be careful! Human error is caused by many
factors: carelessness, fatigue, overload, pre-
occupation, unfamiliarity of operator with the
product, drugs and alcohol to name a few.
Damage to your boat and outboard can be
fixed in a short period of time, but injury or
death, has a lasting effect.
Remember, gasoline fumes are flamma-
ble and explosive. Always adhere to the
fueling procedure contained in this Op-
erator’s Guide and those given to you by
the fueling station. Always verify fuel lev-
el before use and during the ride. Apply
the principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/
3
back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do
WARNING
not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids
in any storage or engine compartments.
For your safety and the safety of oth-
ers, follow all safety warnings and
recommendations. Do not disregard
any of the safety precautions and
instructions.
Whenever running the engine, assure
there is proper ventilation to avoid the
accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO),
which is odorless, colorless, and taste-
less, and can lead to unconsciousness,
brain damage, or death if inhaled in suf-
ficient concentrations. CO accumulation
can occur while docked, anchored, or
underway, and in many confined areas
such as the boat cabin, cockpit, swim
platform, and heads. It can be worsened
or caused by weather, mooring and op-
erating conditions, and other boats.
Avoid exhaust fumes from your engine
or other boats, provide proper ventila-
tion, shut off your engine when not
needed, and be aware of the risk of
backdrafting and conditions that create
CO accumulation. In high concentra-
tions, CO can be fatal within minutes.
Lower concentrations are just as lethal
over long periods of time.
Anyone operating your boat should
first read and understand this guide
before they operate your boat and
outboard.
SAFETY MEASURES — General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoy-
ment and excitement of boating there

knows how to handle your boat in case
of an emergency.

denly in light weight boats.
