Safety information
EMU33622
Outboard motor safety
Observe these precautions at all times.
EMU36501
Propeller
People can be injured or killed if they come
in contact with the propeller. The propeller
can keep moving even when the motor is in
neutral, and sharp edges of the propeller can
cut even when stationary.
 Stop the engine when a person is in the
water near you.
 Keep people out of reach of the propeller,
even when the engine is off.
EMU40271
Rotating parts
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal
flotation device (PFD) straps, etc., can be-
come entangled with internal rotating parts of
the engine, resulting in serious injury or
death.
Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-
sible. Do not remove or replace the top cowl-
ing with the engine running.
Only operate the engine with the top cowling
removed according to the specific instruc-
tions in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair,
jewelry, clothing, PFD straps, etc., away
from any exposed moving parts.
EMU33640
Hot parts
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching
any parts under the top cowling until the en-
gine has cooled.
EMU33650
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while start-
ing or operating the engine. They can cause
shock or electrocution.
EMU33660
Power trim and tilt
Body parts can be crushed between the mo-
tor and the clamp bracket when the motor is
trimmed or tilted. Keep body parts out of this
area at all times. Be sure no one is in this
area before operating the power trim and tilt
mechanism.
The power trim and tilt switches operate
even when the main switch is off. Keep peo-
ple be away from the switches whenever
working around the motor.
Never get under the lower unit while it is tilt-
ed, even when the tilt support lever is locked.
Severe injury could occur if the outboard mo-
tor accidentally falls.
EMU41251
Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the
engine stops if the operator falls overboard
or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat
from running away under power and leaving
people stranded, or running over people or
objects.
Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a
secure place on your clothing or your arm or
leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave
the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-
tach the engine shut-off cord to clothing that
could tear loose, or route the engine shut-off
cord where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Do not route the engine shut-off cord where
it is likely to be accidentally pulled out. If the
engine shut-off cord is pulled during opera-
tion, the engine will shut off and you will lose
most steering control. The boat could slow
rapidly, throwing people and objects forward.
