Clamping the outboard motor
1. Place the outboard motor on the tran-
som so that it is positioned as close to
the center as possible. Tighten the tran-
som clamp screws evenly and securely.
Occasionally check the clamp screws
for tightness during operation of the
out- board motor because they could
be- come loose due to engine vibration.
WARNING! Loose clamp screws
could allow the outboard motor to
fall off or move on the transom. This
could cause loss of control and seri-
ous injury. Make sure the clamp
screws are tightened securely. Occa-
sionally check the screws for tight-
ness during operation. [EWM00642]
2. If the restraint cable attachment is
equipped on your engine, a restraint
ca- ble or chain should be used. Attach
one end to the restraint cable
attachment and the other to a secure
mounting point on the boat. Otherwise
the engine could be completely lost if it
accidentally falls off the transom.

3. Secure the clamp bracket to the
transom using the bolts provided with
the out- board (if packed). For details,
consult your Hidea dealer. WARNING!
Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers
other than those contained in the
engine packaging. If used, they must
be of at least the same quality of
material and strength and must be
tightened se- curely. After
tightening, test run the engine and
check their tightness.
