STARTED
This Operator’s Guide contains essential informa-
tion to help prevent personal injury and damage to
equipment. It will acquaint the operator and pas-
sengers with the

its controls, operation, maintenance and boating
safety measures. Make sure all operators read, un-
derstand and follow the contents. This Guide
should be kept in a waterproof bag with the product
at all times during operation. If the product owner-
ship is transferred, this Guide should be forwarded
to the subsequent owners.
This Operator’s Guide uses the following signal
words identifying important safety messages.
These safety alert signal words mean:

prevent damage to machinery and appears next to
information that controls correct assembly and op-
eration of the product.
Although the mere reading of such information
does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding
and application of the information will promote the
correct use of your outboard engine.
A responsible, educated boater will fully appreciate
the pleasures of boating and will be a safe boater.

SAFETY MEASURES — General
SAFETY MEASURES — Operation
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, WILL result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, CAN result in severe
injury or death.
CAUTION

which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or
moderate personal injury or property dam-
age. It also may be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment
and excitement of boating there are some ba-
sic rules that should be observed and followed
by any boater. Some rules may be new to you
and others may be common sense or obvi-
ous... irrespective, take them seriously! Fail-
ure to follow this safety information and safe
boating rules could result in injury to you, your
passengers or other water users.
Become completely familiar with the control
and operation of your boat and motor before
embarking on your first trip or taking on a pas-
senger(s). If you have not had the opportunity
to do so with your Dealer, practice driving in a
suitable area and feel the response of each
control. Be familiar with all controls before ap-
plying the throttle above idle speed. As the op-
erator, you are in control and responsible for
safe operation.
Be sure at least one of your passengers
knows how to handle your boat in case of an
emergency.
All passengers should know the location of
emergency equipment and how to use it.
All safety equipment and personal flotation
devices must be in good condition and suit-
able for your type of boat. Always comply with
the regulations that apply to your boat.
Contact with rotating propeller is likely to result
in serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone
near a propeller, even when the engine is off.
Propeller blades can be sharp and can contin-
ue to turn even after the engine is shut off. Al-
ways shut off the engine when boat is near
people in the water.
