WARNING
Operating a boat or engine with impact damage can result in product
damage, serious injury, or death. If the vessel experiences any form of
impact, have an authorized Mercury Marine dealer inspect and repair the
vessel or power package.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAND-TILLED OUTBOARDS
No person or cargo should occupy the area directly in front of the outboard
while the boat is in motion. If an underwater obstacle is struck, the outboard will
tilt up and could seriously injure anyone occupying this area.
Models with Clamp Screws:
Some outboards come with transom bracket clamp screws. The use of clamp
bracket screws alone, is insufficient to properly and safely secure the outboard
to the transom. Proper installation of the outboard includes bolting the engine to
the boat through the transom. Refer to Installation ‑ Installing Outboard for
more complete installation information.
!
WARNING
Failure to correctly fasten the outboard could result in the outboard propelling
off the boat transom resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the required
mounting hardware.
If an obstacle is struck at planing speed and the outboard is not securely
fastened to the transom, it is possible the outboard could lift off the transom
and land in the boat.
Exhaust Emissions
BE ALERT TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that is present in the exhaust fumes of
all internal combustion engines, including the engines that propel boats, and
the generators that power boat accessories. By itself, CO is odorless, colorless,
and tasteless, but if you can smell or taste engine exhaust, you are inhaling
CO.
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which are similar to the
symptoms of seasickness and intoxication, include headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and nausea.
