Prestarting Check List
• The operator knows safe navigation, boating, and operating procedures.
• An approved personal flotation device of suitable size is available for each
person aboard.
• A ring type life buoy or buoyant cushion designed to be thrown to a
person in the water.
• Know the boat's maximum load capacity. Look at the boat capacity plate.
• Battery state of charge (SOC) should be full. Short trips require a
minimum of 30% SOC before operating the outboard.
• Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed
evenly.
• Tell someone the location and the expected return time.
• Do not operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Know the waters and area that will be traversed; tides, currents, sand
bars, rocks, and other hazards.
•
Make inspection checks listed in Inspection and Maintenance
Schedule.

WARNING
Electromagnetic radiation can cause death or severe physical injuries to
persons with a cardiac pacemaker or internal defibrillator device.
Anyone with a cardiac pacemaker must maintain a distance of at least 50 cm
(19.7 in.) from the battery, motor, and chargers.
Prestarting Instructions
1. Verify the SOC of the battery using both the battery LED indicators and
the display.
2. Verify the audible alarm is functional when the outboard is powered up.
3. Test the function of the lanyard and verify the lanyard cord is in good
condition.
4. Before the lanyard is placed back in the operational position, verify that
the tiller handle neutral indications are aligned (tiller handle models).
IMPORTANT:For Avator outboard tiller models, it is recommended to remove
the lanyard from it's stored position prior to powering up the outboard. This will
prevent unintended in‑gear activation of the outboard by the operator.
5. Power up the outboard and place the lanyard back in the operational
position.
6. Verify the trim lock lever is functional.
7. Check the system for active faults using the display and the battery LED
indicators.
8. Use the tiller or remote control to change the gear position.
