SAFETY
INFORMATION
8
Before mounting or operating the out-
board motor, read this entire manual.
Reading it should give you an under-
standing of the motor and its operation.
8
Before operating the boat, read any
owner’s or operator’s manuals supplied
with it and all labels. Be sure you under-
stand each item before operating.
8
Do not overpower the boat with this
outboard motor. Overpowering the
boat could result in loss of control. The
rated power of the outboard should be
equal to or less than the rated horse-
power capacity of the boat. If the rated
horsepower capacity of the boat is
unknown, consult the dealer or boat
manufacturer.
8
Do not modify the outboard. Modifica-
tions could make the motor unfit or
unsafe to use.
8
Never operate after drinking alcohol or
taking drugs. About 50% of all boating
fatalities involve intoxication.
8
Have an approved personal flotation
device (PFD) on board for every occu-
pant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, chil-
dren and non-swimmers should always
wear PFDs, and everyone should wear
PFDs when there are potentially haz-
ardous boating conditions.
8
Gasoline is highly flammable, and its
vapors are flammable and explosive.
Handle and store gasoline carefully.
Make sure there are no gas fumes or
leaking fuel before starting the engine.

them. Refer to “RULES OF THE ROAD”
section for basic boating rules.

Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and
be sure you understand how your boat
handles under the different boating
conditions you may encounter. Operate
within your limits, and the limits of your
boat. Always operate at safe speeds,
and keep a careful watch for obstacles
and other traffic.

Always watch carefully for swimmers
during the engine operation.
