1. SAFETY

SAFETY LABELS These labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards that could seriously injure you. Read these labels carefully.

SAFETY INFORMATION For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these precautions.

Operator Responsibility

Know how to stop the engine quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all controls.

Do not exceed the boat manufacturer’s power recommendation, and be sure that the outboard motor is properly mounted.

Never permit anyone to operate the outboard motor without proper instruction.

Stop the engine immediately if any one falls overboard.

Do not run the engine

while the

boat is near anyone in the water.

Attach the emergency stop switch

lanyard securely to the operator.

Do not remove the engine cover

while the engine is running.

Before operating the outboard motor, familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the use of outboard motors.

Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor.

Always wear PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD) when

on board.

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.

Remove any portable fuel tank from the boat for refueling.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep flames and sparks away, and do not smoke in the area.

1. SAFETY

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.

Oil Pressure Indicator Light

(GREEN)

OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT

The green oil pressure indicator light is normally ON when the outboard motor is running.

When the engine oil level is low or the engine lubrication system is faulty, the green oil pressure indicator #light turns OFF and the engine speed decreases gradually.

Overheat Indicator Light

[-G-J

(RED)

OVER HEAT INDICATOR LIGHT

When there is a cooling system pro-

blem, the red overheat indicator light turns ON and the engine speed decreases gradually.

3. CONTROLS (TILLER HANDLE TYPE)

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-

Steering Friction Adjuster

The steering friction adjuster adjusts the tightness of the steering movement.

(SIDE-MOUNT TYPE) Remote Control Lever

3. CONTROLS (REMOTE CONTROL TYPE)

OPENING

REMOTE CONTROL LEVER

The remote control lever controls gear

selection and throttle opening posi-

tions. It is necessary to pull up the neutral

release lever to operate the remote control lever.

F (forward):

Moving the lever to the F position (approximately 30” from the N position) will engage the forward gear. Moving the lever farther into the F position will increse the throttle opening and the boat’s forward speed.

N (neutral):

The engine idles and the transmission gears are disengaged.

R (reverse):

Moving the lever to the R position (approximately 30” from the N position) will engage the reverse

gear. Moving the lever farther into the R position will increase the throttle opening and the boat’s reverse speed.

3. CONTROLS (REMOTE CONTROL TYPE)

Neutral Release Lever

The neutral release lever is on the

remote control lever to prevent an

accidental gear engagement.

The

remote control lever will not engage forward or reverse gear, unless the neutral release lever is pulled up.
