Do not start the engine in a
poor ventilation area such as in
a boat house.
The exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide.
If the operator does not attach
the emergency stop switch
lanyard, and is thrown from his
seat or out of the boat, the out-
of-control boat can seriously
injure the operator, passengers,
or bystanders. Always properly
attach the lanyard before
starting the motor.

To prevent damage to the
outboard from overheating, never
run the engine with the propeller
out of water.

The engine will not start unless the
