SAFETYLABELS
These labels are in the locations
shown. They warn you of potential
hazards that could seriously injure
you. Read these labels carefully.
FUEL TANK
SAFETY INFORMATION
For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these precautions.
Operator Responsibility
l
Know how to stop the engine
quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all controls.
l
Do not exceed the boat manufacturer’s power recommendation, and be
sure that the outboard motor is
properly mounted.
l
Never permit anyone to operate the
outboard motor without proper
instruction.
l
Stop the engine immediately if any
one falls overboard.
l
Do
not run the engine while the
boat is near anyone in the water.
l
Attach the emergency stop switch
lanyard securely to the operator.
l
Do not remove the engine cover
while the engine is running.
l
Before operating the outboard
motor, familiarize yourself with all
laws and regulations relating to
boating and the use of outboard
motors.
l
Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor.
l
Always wear PERSONAL
FLOTAmON DEVICE (PFD) when
on board.
l
Do not remove any guards, labels,
shields, covers or safety 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.
l
Remove any portable fuel tank from
the boat for refueling.
l
Refuel in a well-ventilated area
with the engine stopped. Keep
flames and sparks away, and do not
smoke in the area.
1. SAFETY
l
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.

Power Trim/Tilt Switch
Power Trim
Press the power trim/tilt switch on the
tiller handle to adjust the motor trim
angle from 0” to 20” to maintain
proper boat trim. The power trim/tilt
switch located on the tiller handle can
be operated while the boat is under
way or while stopped.
By using the power trim/tilt switch
the operator can change the trim
angle of the motor to achieve maximum
boat acceleration, speed, stability and
maintain optimum fuel consumption.
Power Tilt
Press the power trim/tilt switch on the
tiller handle to adjust the motor tilt
angle from 20” to 72”.
By using the power trim/tilt switch the
operator can change the tilt angle of
the motor for shallow water operation,
beaching, launching from a trailer, or
mooring.
POWER
TRIM/TILT
SWITCH
Excessive trim/tilt angle during
operation can cause the propeller
to raise out of the water and cause
propeller ventilation and engine
over-revving. Excessive trim/tilt
angle can also damage the water
pump.
