Actions in Emergency Situations
Impact Damage
If the outboard motor hits an object in the water, follow the procedure below.
1. Stop the outboard immediately.
2. Inspect the control system and all components for damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return to the nearest harbor slowly and carefully.
4. Have a PARSUN dealer inspect the outboard motor before operating it again.
Treatment of Submerged Outboard
If the outboard is submerged, immediately take it to a PARSUN dealer. Otherwise some
corrosion may begin almost immediately.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to run the outboard motor until it has been completely inspected.
Low Battery
Warning
The outboard is equipped with a low voltage warning beeper (buzzer). If the battery voltage
falls below 36 volts for 20 seconds, then a low voltage warning beeper will sound every 20 seconds.
You should proceed immediately to shore!
Depending on the batteries and their condition, you
may have very little battery capacity remaining.
The outboard will automatically shutdown when the voltage reaches 30 volts. If this happens,
you can wait a few minutes for the battery voltage to rise, restart the outboard, and proceed slowly to
shore. You will go much farther with a low throttle setting than if you use a full throttle setting.
