Operation
DANGER!
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the battery or batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during charging which, when mixed with air, can form an explosive
gas. This gas is easily ignited and highly volatile.
DANGER!
Do not run the engine while there are people located on or near the swim platform and transom.
● Check that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or astern.
● Never drive in or near areas where people could be in the water.
DANGER!
Avoid the area immediately around the back of the boat while engines are operating or while propellers are under
power. Contact with moving propellers will cause severe injury.
● Never use the drive unit as a ladder or as a lift to board the boat.
● Never swim or board at the rear of the boat when the engine is running, even if the drive is in neutral.
WARNING!
Avoid violent and unexpected changes in course and gear engagement. This could cause someone on the boat
to lose their balance and fall over or overboard.
CAUTION!
Be sure you have read and understand everything in the section entitled “Before Starting” prior to continuing with
this section.
