SAFETY
INFORMATION
8 Before mounting or operating the out-
board motor, read this entire manual.
Reading it should give you an under-
standing of the motor and its operation.
8 Before operating the boat, read any
owner’s or operator’s manuals supplied
with it and all labels. Be sure you under-
stand each item before operating.
8 Do not overpower the boat with this out-
board motor. Overpowering the boat
could result in loss of control. The rated
power of the outboard should be equal
to or less than the rated horsepower
capacity of the boat. If the rated horse-
power capacity of the boat is unknown,
consult the dealer or boat manufacturer.
8 Do not modify the outboard. Modifica-
tions could make the motor unfit or
unsafe to use.
8 Never operate after drinking alcohol or
taking drugs. About 50% of all boating
fatalities involve intoxication.
8 Have an approved personal flotation
device (PFD) on board for every occu-
pant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, chil-
dren and non-swimmers should always
wear PFDs, and everyone should wear
PFDs when there are potentially haz-
ardous boating conditions.
8 Gasoline (Petrol) is highly flammable,
and its vapors are flammable and explo-
sive. Handle and store gasoline (Petrol)
carefully. Make sure there are no gas
fumes or leaking fuel before starting the
engine.
