Safety information

EMU33622

Outboard motor safety

Observe these precautions at all times.

EMU36501

Propeller

People can be injured or killed if they come

in contact with the propeller. The propeller

can keep moving even when the motor is in

neutral, and sharp edges of the propeller can

cut even when stationary.

●

Stop the engine when a person is in the

water near you.

●

Keep people out of reach of the propeller,

even when the engine is off.

EMU33630

Rotating parts

Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, PFD

straps, etc. can become entangled with inter-

nal rotating parts of the engine, resulting in

serious injury or death.

Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-

sible. Do not remove or replace the cowling

with the engine running.

Only operate the engine with the cowling re-

moved according to the specific instructions

in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewel-

ry, clothing, PFD straps, etc. away from any

exposed moving parts.

EMU33640

Hot parts

During and after operation, engine parts are

hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching

any parts under the top cowling until the en-

gine has cooled.

EMU33650

Electric shock

Do not touch any electrical parts while start-

ing or operating the engine. They can cause

shock or electrocution.

EMU33671

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)

Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the

engine stops if the operator falls overboard

or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat

from running away under power and leaving

people stranded, or running over people or

objects.

Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a

secure place on your clothing or your arm or

leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave

the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-

tach the cord to clothing that could tear

loose, or route the cord where it could be-

come entangled, preventing it from function-

ing.

Do not route the cord where it is likely to be

accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled

during operation, the engine will shut off and

you will lose most steering control. The boat

could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-

jects forward.

EMU33810

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-

mable and explosive.

Always, refuel ac-

cording to the procedure on page 30 to

reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

EMU33820

Gasoline exposure and spills

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline

spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.

Dispose of rags properly.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-

ately wash with soap and water. Change

clothing if gasoline spills on it.

If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-

line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get

immediate medical attention. Never siphon

fuel by mouth.
