Boater's Responsibilities
The operator (driver) is responsible for the safe operation of the boat and the
safety of its occupants and the general public. It is strongly recommended that
the operator read and understand this entire manual before operating the boat.
Be sure that at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basics
of starting and operating the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is
unable to operate the boat.
Before Operating Your Boat
Read and understand this manual carefully. Learn how to operate your boat
properly. If you have any questions, contact your dealer.
Safety and operating information that is practiced, along with using good
common sense, can help prevent personal injury and product damage.
This manual uses the following safety alerts to draw your attention to special
safety instructions that should be followed.
!

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
!
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.

Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and
some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to
attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device (PFD) or wrist.
