OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Honda BF75A/BF90A outboard motors are designed for use with boats that have a suitable manufacturer’s power recommendation. 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
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.
Stop the engine immediately if anyone falls overboard, and do not run the engine while the boat is near anyone in the water.
Always stop the engine if you must leave the controls for any reason.
Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to the operator.
Always wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) while on the boat.
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the use of outboard motors.
Be sure that anyone who operates the outboard motor receives proper instruction.
Be sure the outboard motor is properly mounted on the boat.
Do not remove the engine cover while the engine is running.

OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
Carbon Monoxide HazardRefuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel outdoors, in a well­ventilated area, with the engine stopped. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.
Remove any portable fuel tank from the boat for refueling. Keep the portable fuel tank away from the battery or other potential spark sources.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.

The ignition switch controls the ignition system and starter motor.
Turning the ignition switch key to the START position operates the starter motor. The key automatically returns to the ON position when released from the START position.
ON
The engine will not start unless the gearshift lever (p. ) is in the N
19 (neutral) position, and the emergency stop switch clip is in the emergency stop switch.
Turning the ignition switch to the OFF position stops the engine.

LANYARD
The switch clip must be inserted in the emergency stop switch in order for the engine to start and run. The lanyard should be attached to the operator’s PFD (Personal Flotation Device) or worn around the wrist as shown.
When used as described, the emergency stop switch and lanyard system stops the engine if the operator falls away from the controls.
A spare switch clip is stored in a slot in the control housing (optional equipment).

The CLOSED position enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold engine.
The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.
Throttle GripChoke Knob
THROTTLE GRIP
The throttle grip controls engine speed.
An index mark on the tiller arm shows throttle position and is helpf ul for setting the throttle correctly when starting (p. ).

The gearshift lever is used to select F (forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse) gears.
The engine can only be started with the gearshift lever in the N (neutral) position.
The gearshift lever must be in the F (forward) position before the throttle grip can be turned to the FAST position.
POWER TRIM/TILT SWITCH
The power trim/tilt switch is rocker switch with UP and DN (down) positions for changing the angle of the outboard motor.
You can use the power trim/tilt switch anytime the ignition switch is ON, whether the boat is underway or stopped.
