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
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 FLOTATION 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.

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.

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.
