SAFETY INFORMATION
Before working on any part of the outboard, read the SAFETY section at the end of this manual.
m DANGER m
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat.
Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and
the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off. Remove propeller before ser-
vicing and when running the outboard on a flushing device.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to
accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled,
can cause serious brain damage
or death.
m WARNING m
Wear safety glasses to avoid personal injury, and set compressed air to less than 25 psi (172
kPa).
The
motor cover and flywheel cover are machinery guards. Use caution when conducting
tests on running outboards. DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from rotating parts.
During service, the outboard may
drop unexpectedly. Avoid personal injury; always support
the outboard's weight with a suitable hoist or the tilt support bracket during service.
To prevent accidental starting while servicing, disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Twist and remove
all spark plug leads.
The electrical system presents a
serious shock hazard. DO NOT handle primary or secondary
ignition components while outboard is running or flywheel is turning.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain conditions. Use caution
when working on any part of the fuel system.
Protect against hazardous fuel spray. Before starting
any fuel system service, carefully
relieve fuel system pressure.
Do
not smoke, or allow open flames or sparks, or use electrical devices such as cellular
phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or while fueling.
Keep
all electrical connections clean, tight, and insulated to prevent shorting or arcing and
causing an explosion.
Always
work in a well ventilated area.
Replace any locking fastener
(locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature becomes weak.
Definite resistance
to tightening must be felt when reusing a locking fastener. If replacement
is indicated, use only authorized replacement or equivalent.
