A
DANGER
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.
A
WARNING
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 oper-
ating boat. Do not allow anyone near a pro-
peller, even when the engine is off. Blades
can be sharp and the propeller can con-
tinue to turn even after the engine is off.
A
CAUTION
DO NOT run outboard without a water sup-
ply to the outboard’s cooling system. Cool-
ing system and/or powerhead damage
could occur.
