2.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Cowlings must be in place
To avoid death or serious injury, make sure all cowlings are
securely in place whenever the outboard is operating. Hands,
feet, hair, clothing, personal accessories, floating device straps
etc. may become entangled with internal moving parts.
Avoid stepping on outboard
To avoid injury or damage, do not step, stand or sit on the cowlings
or any other part of the outboard.
Hot parts can cause burns
Outboard components get very hot during normal operation and
can cause severe burns to skin on contact.
Avoid removing any cowlings after operation until the outboard
has had time to cool down.
Electric shocks possible
Always stop your outboard(s) and isolate the battery supply and
any other external power supply prior to working on electrical
systems. Avoid unnecessary contact with electrical components
while starting or operating your outboard(s).
Leaking fuel is a hazard
Leaking fuel may be hot and can create a fire or burn hazard. Stop
your outboard if a leak is found and clear up any spills.
The propeller has sharp edges
Your propeller has sharp edges by design and can cause harm
even when stationary. Do not operate your outboard out of the
water with a propeller fitted, even if it is out of gear.
Never work on a propeller with the outboard running.
Passengers may fall overboard and come into contact with a
moving propeller. Remain aware and vigilant to minimize the risk
of injury.
