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 neu-
tral, and sharp edges of the propeller can cut
even when stationary.
● Stop the engine when a person is in the wa-
ter 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 se-
rious 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, jewelry,
clothing, PFD straps, etc. away from any ex-
posed 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 starting
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 en-
gine stops if the operator falls overboard or
leaves the helm. This prevents the boat from
running away under power and leaving peo-
ple stranded, or running over people or ob-
jects.
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 become en-
tangled, preventing it from functioning.
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 accord-
ing 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.
