CLAMPING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

1)Place the outboard on the transom so that it is positioned as close to the cen- ter as possible. Tighten the transom clamp screws evenly and securely. Check the clamp-screws for tightness occasionally during operation of the motor as they can work loose due to engine vibration.

WARNING

Loose clamp screws could allow the motor to move on the transom or fall off the transom. This could cause loss of control and serious injury. Make sure the transom screws are tightened securely. Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.

2)An engine restraint cable or chain should be used. Attach one end to the engine restraint cable attachment point and the other to a secure mounting point on the boat. Otherwise, the engine could be completely lost if it accidentally falls off the transom.

Secure the clamp bracket to the transom with the bolts provided with the out- board. For details, consult your dealer.

WARNING

Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers other than those contained in the engine pack- aging. If used, they must be of at least the same quality of material and strength and must be tightened securely. After tightening, test run the engine and check their tightness.
