GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

ENOM00009-0

SAFE OPERATION OF BOAT

1
As the operator/driver of the boat, you are responsible for the safety of those aboard and those in other boat around yours, and for following local boating regulations. You should be thoroughly knowledgeable on how to correctly operate the boat, outboard motor, and accessories. To learn about the correct operation and maintenance of the outboard motor, please read through this manual carefully. It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take evasive action should he or she see a power boat heading in his/her direction, even at a slow speed. Therefore, when your boat is in the immediate vicinity of people in the water, the outboard motor should be shifted to neutral and shut off.
ENOW00005-0
WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY IS LIKELY IF A PERSON IN THE WATER MAKES CONTACT WITH A MOV­ING BOAT, GEAR HOUSING, PROPELLER, OR ANY SOLID DEVICE RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO A BOAT OR GEAR HOUSING.
ENOM0008-A

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

The Emergency Stop Switch will stall the outboard motor when the stop switch lanyard is pulled off. This stop switch lanyard has to be attached to the operator of the outboard motor to minimize or prevent injuries from the propeller in case the operator falls over­board. It is operator’s responsibility to use the Emergency Stop Switch Lanyard.
ENOW00004-A
WARNING
Accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch (such as the tether being pulled out in heavy seas) could cause passengers to lose their balance and even fall overboard, or it could result in loss of power in heavy seas, strong currents, or high winds. Loss of control while mooring is another potential hazard. To minimize accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.) stop switch lanyard is coiled and can extended to a full 1300 mm (51 inch.).
ENOM00800-A

PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE

As the operator/driver and passenger of the boat, you are responsible to wear a PFD (Per­sonal Floatation Device) while on the boat.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 11
ENOM00010-0

SERVICING, REPLACEMENT PARTS & LUBRICANTS

We recommend that only an authorized service shop perform service or maintenance on this outboard motor. Be sure to use genuine parts, genuine lubricants, or recommended lubricants.
ENOM00011-A

MAINTENANCE

As the owner of this outboard motor, you should be acquainted with correct maintenance procedures following maintenance section of this manual (See page 40). It is the opera­tor's responsibility to perform all safety checks and to ensure that all lubrication and main­tenance instructions are complied with for safe operation. Please comply with all instructions concerning lubrication and maintenance. You should take the engine to an authorized dealer or service shop for periodic inspection at the prescribed intervals. Correct periodic maintenance and proper care of this outboard motor will reduce the chance of problems and limit overall operating expenses.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can be fatal if inhaled for any length of time. Never start or operate the engine indoors or in any space which is not well ventilated.
Gasoline
Gasoline and its vapors are very flammable and can be explosive. Use extreme care when handling gasoline. You should be thoroughly knowledgeable on how to correctly handle gasoline by reading this manual.

1. Mounting the outboard motor on boat
ENOW00006-0
WARNING
Most boats are rated and certified in terms of their maximum allowable horsepower, as shown on the boat’s certification plate. Do not equip your boat with an outboard motor that exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your dealer. Do not operate the outboard motor until it has been securely mounted on the boat in accordance with the instructions below.
ENOW00009-0
WARNING
z Mounting the outboard motor without
following this manual can lead to unsafe conditions such as poor maneuverabil­ity, lack of control or fire.
z Loose clamp screws and/or mounting
bolts can lead to the release or displace­ment of the outboard motor, possibly resulting in lost of control and/or serious personal injury. Be sure that fasteners are tightened to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0 kgf) 13 ft-lb). Check the fasten­ers for tightness from time to time.
z Be sure to use outboard mounting fas-
teners included in the outboard motor package or their equivalents in terms of size, material, quality and strength. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0 kgf) 13 ft-lb). Test cruise to check if fasteners are tightened securely.
z Outboard motor mounting must be per-
formed by trained service person(s) using lift or hoist with sufficient capac­ity.
Keep the outboard motor in a vertical posi­tion when mounting.

Be sure that the anti ventilation plate of the outboard motor is 30–50 mm (1.2–2 in) below the bottom of hull. If the above condition cannot be met due to the shape of the bottom of your boat, please consult your authorized dealer.

CAUTION
z Before beginning the running test, check
that the boat with maximum capacity loading floats on the water in a proper attitude. Check the position of water surface on the driveshaft housing. If the water surface is near the bottom cowl­ing, in high waves, water may enter the engine cylinders.
z Incorrect outboard motor mounting
height or existence of underwater object(s), such as hull bottom design, bottom surface conditions or underwa­ter accessories, can cause water spray possibly reaching the engine through an opening of the bottom cowling during cruising. Exposing the engine to such conditions for extended periods can lead to severe engine damage.
ENOM00830-A
Mounting bolts Manual tilt type
1. To attach the outboard motor to the boat, tighten the clamp screws by turning their handles. Also, use the bolts to secure the out­board motor brackets on transom board. Secure the outboard motor with a rope to prevent loss overboard.
ENON00002-0
Note
A rope is not included in the standard accessories.
