SAFETY INFORMATION
Before
working
on any part
of
the outboard, read the SAFETY
section
at the end
of
this
manual.
This manual
is
written for qualified, factory-trained
technicians who are already familiar with the use
of
Evinrude®/Johnson® Special Tools. This man-
ual
is not a substitute for work experience. It
is
an
organized guide for reference, repair, and mainte-
nance
of
the outboard(s).
This manual uses the following signal words iden-
tifying important safety messages.
6 DANGER 6
Indicates
an
imminently
hazardous
situa-
tion
which,
if
not
avoided, WILL
result
in
death
or
serious
injury.
6 WARNING 6
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation
which,
if
not
avoided, CAN
result
in severe
injury
or
death.
6 CAUTION 6
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation
which,
if
not
avoided, MAY
result
in
minor
or
moderate personal
injury
or
property
damage.
It
also may be used
to
alert
against
unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT: Identifies information that will help
prevent damage to machinery and appears next
to information that controls correct assembly and
operation
of
the product.
These safety alert signal words mean:
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY
IS
INVOLVED!
Always follow common shop safety practices. If
you have not had training related to common shop
safety practices, you should do
so
to protect your-
self, as well as the people around you.
It
is
understood that this manual may be trans-
lated into other languages.
In
the event
of
any dis-
crepancy, the English version shall prevail.
To
reduce the risk
of
personal injury, safety warn-
ings are provided at appropriate times throughout
the manual.
DO
NOT make any repairs until you have read the
instructions and checked the pictures relating to
the repairs.
Be
careful, and never rush or guess a service pro-
cedure. Human error
is
caused by many factors:
carelessness, fatigue, overload, preoccupation,
unfamiliarity with the product, and drugs and alco-
hol use, to name a few. Damage to a boat and
outboard can
be
fixed
in
a short period of time, but
injury or death has a lasting effect.
When replacement parts are required, use
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including type, strength
and material. Using substandard parts could result
in
injury or product malfunction.
Torque wrench tightening specifications must be
strictly followed. Replace any locking fastener
(locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature
becomes weak. Definite resistance to turning
must
be
felt when reusing a locking fastener. If
replacement
is
specified or required because the
locking fastener has become weak, use only
authorized
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts.
If you use procedures or service tools that are not
recommended
in
this manual, YOU ALONE must
decide if your actions might injure people or dam-
age the outboard.
