WARNING
Models without power trim - Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position. Failure to lock the
outboard in its tilt position could result in the outboard lifting out of the water when operating in reverse, resulting
in possible loss of boat control. Loss of boat control can result in serious injury, death, or boat damage.
8. Cold Engine - Advance the fast idle lever or throttle only feature to an approximate halfway (1/2) setting. After
engine start up, immediately adjust neutral fast idle setting so engine speed drops below 2000 RPM. Return
back to normal idle speed after engine is warmed up.
