CHECKING PROPELLER
WARNING
@
You could be seriously injured if the
engine accidentally starts while you are
near the propeller.
●
Before inspecting, removing or install-
ing the propeller, remove the spark
plug caps from the spark plugs. Also,
put the shift control in Neutral, put the
main switch in the “OFF” position and
remove the key, and remove the lan-
yard from the engine stop switch. Turn
off the battery cut-off switch if your
boat has one.
●
Do not use your hand to hold the pro-
peller when loosening or tightening
the propeller nut. Put a wood block
between the cavitation plate and the
propeller to prevent the propeller from
turning.
