DANGER
~
Contact
with
a rotating
propeller
is
likely
to
result
in
serious
injury
or
death.
Assure
the
engine and
prop
area is clear
of
people and objects before
starting
engine
or
operating boat.
Do
not
allow
anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can
be
sharp
and
the propeller can
continue
to
turn
even after the engine
is
off. Remove propeller before ser-
vicing
and when running
the
outboard
on
a
flushing
device.
DO
NOT run the engine
indoors
or
without
adequate
ventilation
or
permit exhaust
fumes
to
accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust
contains
carbon
monoxide
which,
if
inhaled,
can cause serious brain damage
or
death.

WARNING
~
Wear safety glasses
to
avoid personal injury, and
set
compressed
air
to
less than 25 psi (172
kPa).
The
motor

are
machinery
guards. Use caution when
conducting
tests
on
running outboards. DO NOT wear

drop
unexpectedly.
Avoid
personal injury; always
support
the

weight
with
a suitable
hoist
or
the
tilt
support
bracket
during
service.
To prevent
accidental
starting
while
servicing,
disconnect
the battery cables at the battery.
Twist and remove
all
spark
plug
leads. .
The electrical system presents a
serious
shock
hazard. DO NOT handle primary
or
secondary
ignition
components while
outboard
is
running
or
flywheel is
turning.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly
explosive
under
certain conditions. Use
caution
when
working
on any part
of
the
fuel system.
Protect against hazardous
fuel spray. Before
starting
any
fuel system service,
carefully
relieve fuel system pressure.
Do
not
smoke,
or
allow
open flames
or
sparks,
or
use electrical devices
such
as
cellular
phones in the
vicinity
of
a fuel leak
or
while
fueling.
Keep all electrical
connections
clean, tight, and insulated
to
prevent
shorting
or
arcing
and
causing an
explosion.
Always
work
in a well ventilated area.
Replace any locking fastener
(locknut
or
patch screw)
if
its
locking
feature becomes weak.
Definite resistance
to
