Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition.
Stop engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Take care not to spill gasoline, if gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately.
Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling.
If you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eye, get
immediate medical attentions.
If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gasoline
spills on it.
Touch the fuel nozzle to metal components to prevent electrostatic sparks.
Use only new clean gasoline which has been stored in clean containers and is not contaminated with
water or foreign matter.
Do not start the engine when the oil level is low. Serious damage might occur.
Always check the oil level before starting the engine.
OPERATION
Mount the outboard motor on the center line
(keel line) of the boat.
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static
water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power head, when water
rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.
Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more
horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a
capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
