WARNING
The outboard motor can be seriously
damaged by a collision while operating or
trailering. Damage could make the out-
board motor unsafe to operate.
If the outboard motor hits an object in the wa-
ter, follow the procedure below.
1. Stop the engine immediately.
2. Check the control system and all compo-
nents for damage. Also, check the boat
for damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return
to the nearest harbor slowly and careful-
ly.

Have a
Our
dealer check the out-
board motor before operating it again.

(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started with an emer-
gency starter rope.
WARNING
Emergency engine starting
F2.5

Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.

Make sure the remote control lever is in
neutral. Otherwise the boat could unex-
pectedly start to move, which could re-
sult in an accident.

Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.

Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.

Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
