ill WARNING 6
The
outboard
must
be
correctly
installed.
Failure
to
correctly
install the
outboard
could
result in serious injury, death,
or
property
damage.
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully. The
outboard's warranty
will not cover product dam-
age or failure resulting from incorrect outboard
installation.
ill WARNING ill
Even
if
equipped
with
clamp screws, the
outboard
must
be bolted
to
the boat
to
pre-
vent
it
from
"working
off
the
transom"
dur-
ing
operation.
Center the outboard
on
the boat's transom (or
mounting bracket) and tighten the clamp screws
by
hand, NOT with tools.
An
accessory transom
plate is recommended to protect the boat's
tran-
som (or mounting bracket).
ill WARNING ill
If
either
side
of
the
transom
deforms
or
cracks
when the
bolts
are
tightened
to
their
recommended torque,
the
transom
construction
may
not
be adequate
or
may
be deteriorated. Structural failure
of
the
transom
could
result
in
loss
of
boat
control
and
injury
to
the occupants.
