Safety information

●Before mounting or operating the outboard motor, read this entire manual. Reading it should give you an understanding of the motor and its operation

●Before operating the boat, read any own- er’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it and all labels. Be sure you understand each item before operating.

●Do not overpower the boat with this out- board motor. Overpowering the boat could result in loss of control. The rated power of the outboard should be equal to or less than the rated horsepower capacity of the boat. If the rated horsepower capacity of the boat is unknown, consult the dealer or boat manufacturer.

●Do not modify the outboard. Modifications could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use.

●Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak- ing drugs. About 50% of all boating fatali- ties involve intoxication.

●Have an approved personal flotation de- vice (PFD) on board for every occupant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever boating. At a minimum, children and non- swimmers should always wear PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when there are potentially hazardous boating condi- tions.

●Gasoline is highly flammable, and its va- pors are flammable and explosive. Handle and store gasoline carefully. Make sure there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel be- fore starting the engine.

●This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain dam- age or death when inhaled. Symptoms in- clude nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilat- ed. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets.

●Check throttle, shift, and steering for prop- er operation before starting the engine.

●Attach the engine stop switch lanyard cord to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while operating. If you acciden- tally leave the helm, the cord will pull from the switch, stopping the engine.

●Know the marine laws and regulations where you will be boating—and obey them. For basic boating rules, see “Rules of the road” on page 4.

●Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather.

●Tell someone where you are going: leave
