then shift to the reverse position
at low engine speed.
Do not shift to the reverse position
suddenly at high engine speed.
Moving parts can injure you.
Install the engine cover after
emergency starting the engine. Do
not operate the outboard motor
without the engine cover.
• Know how to stop the engine
quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all controls.
• Do not exceed the boat

SAFETY
Fire and Burn Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and
gasoline vapor can explode. Use
extreme care when handling gasoline.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
• Remove the 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.
• Refuel carefully to avoid spilling
fuel. A void overfilling the fuel tank
(there should be no fuel in the filler
neck). After refueling, tighten the
fuel filler cap securely. If any fuel
is spilled, make sure the area is dry
before starting the engine.
The engine and exhaust system
become very hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping.
Contact with hot engine components
can cause burns and may ignite some
materials.
• Avo id touching a hot engine or
exhaust system.
• Allow the engine to cool before
performing maintenance or
transporting.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss
of consciousness and may lead to
death.
• If you run the engine in an area that
is confined, or even partially
enclosed, the air can become
contaminated with a dangerous
amount of exhaust gas. To keep
exhaust gas from building up,
provide adequate ventilation.

The throttle friction adjuster adjusts
resistance to throttle grip rotation.
Turn the adjuster clockwise to
increase friction for holding a throttle
setting while cruising.

The emergency stop switch lanyard is
provided to stop the engine
immediately when the operator falls
overboard or away from the outboard
motor.
The engine stops when the clip at the
end of the emergency stop switch
lanyard is pulled out of the
emergency stop switch.
When operating the outboard motor,
be sure to attach one end of the
emergency stop switch lanyard
securely to the operator.
If the emergency stop switch
lanyard is not set, the boat might
run out of control when the
operator, for example, falls
overboard and is not able to
operate the outboard motor.
For the sake of the operator’s and the
passengers’ safety, be sure to set the
emergency stop switch clip located at
one end of the emergency stop switch
lanyard with the emergency stop
switch. Attach the other end of the
emergency stop switch lanyard
securely to the operator.

The engine does not start unless the

Store the spare emergency stop
switch clip in the tool bag. Use the
spare emergency stop switch clip to
make the disabled engine start when
the emergency stop switch lanyard is
not available as, for example, when
the operator falls overboard.
Steering Friction Adjuster
The steering friction adjuster adjusts
steering resistance.
Less friction allows the outboard
motor to turn more easily. More
friction helps to hold a steady course
while cruising or to prevent the
outboard motor from swinging while
trailering the boat.
TRL (Trolling) Control Switch
The engine speed can be adjusted
with the trolling control switch when
in trolling mode.
If you press and hold the TRL control
switch while cruising with the throttle
closed, the mode changes to trolling
mode.

FORWARD:
Moving the lever to the FORWARD
position (i.e. approximately 32° from
the NEUTRAL position) engages the
gear into forward. Moving the lever
further from the FORWARD position
will increase the throttle opening and
the boat forward speed.
NEUTRAL:
Engine power is cut off from the
propeller.
REVERSE:
Moving the lever to the REVERSE
position (i.e. approximately 32° from
the NEUTRAL position) engages the
gear into reverse. Moving the lever
further from the REVERSE position
will increase the throttle opening and
