! DANGER
Failure to observe will result in severe personal injury or death, and possibly property damage.
! WARNING
Failure to observe could result in severe personal injury or death, or property damage.
! CAUTION
Failure to observe could result in personal injury or property damage.
Note
This instruction provides special information to facilitate the use or maintenance of the
outboard motor or to clarify important points.
! WARNING
Accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch (such as the tether being pulled out
in heavy seas) could cause passengers to lose their balance and even fall overboard, or it
could result in loss of power in heavy seas, strong currents, or high winds. Loss of control
while mooring is another potential hazard.
To minimize accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.)
stop switch tether is coiled and can extended to a full 1,300 mm (51 inch.).
! WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY IS LIKELY IF A PERSON IN THE WATER MAKES CONTACT WITH
A MOVING BOAT, GEAR HOUSING, PROPELLER, OR ANY SOLID DEVICE RIGIDLY
ATTACHED TO A BOAT OR GEAR HOUSING.
MAINTENANCE
As the owner of this outboard motor, you should be acquainted with correct
maintenance procedures. It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety
checks and to ensure that all lubrication and maintenance instructions are
complied with for safe operation. Please comply with all instructions concerning
lubrication and maintenance. You should take the engine to an authorized dealer
or service shop for periodic inspection at the prescribed intervals.
Correct periodic maintenance and proper care of this outboard motor will reduce
the chance of problems and limit overall operating expenses.
MOUNTING
Outboard motor mounting must be performed by trained service person(s) using
lift or hoist with sufficient capacity.
