GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
ENOM00009-0
SAFE OPERATION OF BOAT
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
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.

STOP SWITCH LANYARD
The engine can be stopped with pulling out the stop switch lock from the stop switch.
The stop switch lanyard is the coiled red cord with the stop switch lock on one end and
a metal clip on the other end. With attaching the stop switch lanyard to the operator's
body part or operator’s personal flotation device (PFD), the engine will stop when the
stop switch lanyard is being stretched and pulled out the lock from the switch when the
operator falls accidentally overboard or leaves from operator’s position. This function
can be prevent losing control of and minimize or prevent risk of collision with boats,
people and other objects. It is operator’s responsibility to use the stop switch lanyard.
ENOW00004-1
Accidental activation of the 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 Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.) stop switch lan-
yard is coiled and can extended to a full 1300 mm (51 inch.).
ENOM00800-A
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE

(Personal Flotation Device) while on the boat.
