Boater's Responsibilities
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of
the boat and the safety of its occupants and general public. It is strongly
recommended that each operator read and understand this entire manual
before operating, charging, or storing the outboard.
Be sure that at least one additional person onboard is instructed in the basics
of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is
unable to operate the boat.
Start‑In‑Neutral‑Protection Device
The tiller handle shift controller or the remote control connected to the outboard
is equipped with a start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the
outboard from activating when the remote control or tiller control is placed in
any position other than neutral at the time it is powered on. This means that if
the outboard is powered up while the shift control on the tiller or remote control
is in a forward or reverse position, the outboard will not activate unless the shift
control position is returned to neutral first.
!
WARNING
Powering ON the outboard with the remote control or tiller in forward or
reverse is not recommended and can cause serious injury or death. Never
operate a boat with a malfunctioning neutral‑safety‑protection device.
The start‑in‑neutral‑protection device is designed to prevent the outboard from
activating even if the remote control or the tiller control grip are in a reverse or
forward position when the key is turned to the ON position.
