lowed by the tachometer display.
Fuel System
Perform running checks of the fuel system by fol-
lowing these steps:
• Squeeze fuel primer bulb until hard or activate
electric primer. Observe all fuel hoses and con-
nections. Repair any leaks.
• Start outboard. Inspect all hoses and connec-
tions. Repair any leaks or misrouted hoses
immediately.
Emergency Stop / Key Switch
Check emergency stop function. With outboard
running at IDLE, pull safety lanyard from emer-
gency stop switch. Outboard must stop immedi-
ately.
Remote Control Operation
Make sure that control can be easily moved into
all gear and throttle settings. Do not shift remote
control when outboard is not running.
Start-In-Gear Prevention
Start outboard and shift to FORWARD.
Turn outboard OFF while control is in FORWARD.
Try to restart the outboard. Outboard should not
start.
Shift back to NEUTRAL and restart outboard.
Shift to REVERSE. Turn outboard OFF while con-
trol is in REVERSE.
Try to restart the outboard. Outboard should not
start.
Tachometer Pulse Setting
(SystemCheck)
Confirm accuracy of tachometer reading.
DANGER
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
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.
NOTICE
DO NOT run outboard without a water supply
to the outboard’s cooling system. Cooling
system and/or powerhead damage could
occur.
WARNING
Make certain that the starter will not operate
when the outboard is in gear. The start-in-gear
prevention feature is required by the United
States Coast Guard to help prevent personal
injuries.
