1. OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda BF75A and BF90A outboard
motors are designed for use with boats
that have a suitable manufacturer’s power
recommendation, and other uses can result
in injury to the operator or damage to the
outboard motor and other property.
Most accidents can be prevented if you
follow all instructions in this manual and
on the outboard motor. The most common
hazards are discussed below, along with
the best way to protect yourself.and
others.
Operator Responsibility
l
It is the operator’s responsibility to
provide the necessary safeguards to
protect people and property. Know how
to stop the engine quickly in case of
emergency. Understand the use of all
controls.
l
Stop the engine immediately if anyone
falls overboard, and do not run the
engine while the boat is near anyone in
the water.
l
Always stop the engine if you must leave
the controls for any reason.
l
Attach the emergency stop switch
lanyard securely to the operator.
l
Always wear a PFD (Personal Flotation
Device) while on the boat.
l
Familiarize yourself with all laws
and regulations relating to boating and
the use of outboard motors.
l
Be sure that anyone who operates the
outboard motor receives proper
instruction.
l
Be sure the outboard motor is properly
mounted on the boat.
l
Do not remove the engine cover while
the engine is running.
l
Do not attempt to modify the outboard
motor.
l
Do not remove any labels, covers,
or safety devices; they are installed
for your safety.
1. OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
Refuel With Care
l
Gasoline is extremely
flammable, and gasoline vapor can
explode. Refuel outdoors, in a
well-ventilated area, with the engine
stopped. Never smoke near gasoline, and
keep other flames and sparks away.
l
Remove any portable fuel tank from the
boat for refueling. Keep the portable fuel
tank away from the battery or other
potential spark sources.
l
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
l
After refueling, tighten the filler cap
securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon
monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas.
Never run the engine in a closed garage or
confined area.
