Outboard motor safety

Observe these precautions at all times.
EMU36502

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 neu-
tral, 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.
EMU40272

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.
EMU33641

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.
EMU33651

Electric shock

Do not touch any electrical parts while start-
ing or operating the engine. They can cause
shock or electrocution.

Safety information

EMU33672

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 peo-
ple stranded, or running over people or ob-
jects.
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 cord to clothing that could tear
loose, or route the cord where it could be-
come entangled, preventing it from function-
ing.
Do not route the cord where it is likely to be
accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled
during operation, the engine will shut off and
you will lose most steering control. The boat
could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-
jects forward.
EMU33811

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flamma-
ble and explosive. Always, refuel according
to the procedure on page 39 to reduce the
risk of fire and explosion.
EMU33821

Gasoline exposure and spills

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline
spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.
Dispose of rags properly.
If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-
ately wash with soap and water. Change
clothing if gasoline spills on it.
If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get
immediate medical attention. Never siphon
fuel by mouth.
