SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these precautions. Operator Responsibility + Honda outboard motor is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the ‘Owner's Manual before operating the outboard motor. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. * Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Keep the fuel tank out of reach of children, * Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. + Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored. + Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling make sure that the fuel tank cap is closed properly and securely. * Be careful not to spill any fuel while refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled make sure that the area is dry before starting the engine. +The engine can be started the gearshift position is in the FORWARD or REVERSE when it is cranked by rope in emergency. To prevent start-in-gear, be sure to set the gearshift position to the NEUTRAL before starting the engine. Read and understand the Owner's Manual before starting the engine in emergency.* Know how to stop the engine quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all controls. * Do not exceed the boat manufacturer's power recommendation, and be sure that the outboard motor is properly mounted. * Never permit anyone to operate the outboard motor without proper instruction ‘Stop the engine immediately if anyone falls overboard, * Do not run the motor while the boat is near anyone in the water. * Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to the operator. * Before operating the outboard motor, Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the use of outboard motors. * Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor. * Always wear a life-jacket when on board. * Do not operate the outboard motor without the engine cover. Exposed moving parts can cause injury. * Do not remove any guards, labels, shields, covers or salety devices; they are installed for your safety. Fire and Burn Hazards Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Use extreme care when handling gasoline, KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN * Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep flames and sparks away, and do not smoke in the area. * Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine, The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping, Contact with hot engine components can cause burns and may ignite some materials. * Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system, * Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or transporting,SAFETY Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the engine in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air can become contaminated with a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide adequate ventilation.2.

Gasoline containing alcohol If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol, Do not use gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors aPRE-OPERATION CHECKS NOTE: * Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting form the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. Honda cannot endorse the use of the fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete. * Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol. 44 Battery Electrolyte Level BATTERY \ \ ur a WORE Battery handling differs according to the type of the battery and the instructions described below might not applicable to the battery of your outboard. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s instructions. Check whether the battery fluid is between the upper and lower levels, and check the vent hole in the battery caps for clogging, If the battery fluid is near or below the lower level, add the distilled water to the upper level. Batteries produce explosive gases: If ignited, an explosion can cause serious injury or blindness. Provide adequate ventilation when charging. * CHEMICAL HAZARD: Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Contact with eyes or skin, even through clothing, may cause severe burns. Wear a faceshield and protective clothing. + Keep flames and sparks away, and do not smoke in the area.
