WARNING
!
Fire and Explosion Hazard
NEVER jump-start the engine.
Sparks caused by shorting the
battery to the starter terminals
may cause a fire or explosion.
ONLY use the key switch to
start the engine.
Sudden Movement Hazard
Be sure the boat is in open water away from
other boats, docks or other obstructions
before increasing rpm. Avoid unexpected
equipment movement. Shift the marine gear
into the NEUTRAL position any time the

To prevent accidental equipment
movement, NEVER start the engine in gear.

Exhaust Hazard
NEVER block windows, vents
or other means of ventilation if
the engine is operating in an
enclosed area. All internal
combustion engines create
carbon monoxide gas during operation and
special precautions are required to avoid
carbon monoxide poisoning.
