Using Your E-TEC Outboard

WARNING SYSTEM - S.A.F.E.

This outboard is equipped with Speed Adjust-
ing Failsafe Electronics (S.A.F.E.).
S.A.F.E. is an engine warning system con-
trolled by the Engine Management Module
(EMM). The EMM monitors engine sensors. If
conditions which could cause permanent en-
gine damage exist, the EMM limits engine
speed to 1200 RPM.
If engine is in S.A.F.E. mode, the outboard will
shake noticeably when accelerated above
1200 RPM.
For additional protection during severe oper-
ating conditions the EMM will shut OFF the
engine.
CAUTION
In the S.A.F.E. mode, the engine speed
is limited. Under certain conditions, the
engine's limited speed may reduce
maneuverability of your boat.
If the S.A.F.E. mode is activated and
you are unable to correct the problem,
seek assistance and/or return to safe
harbor. Serious engine damage, engine
shutoff, and/or reduced maneuverabil-
ity may be imminent.
The EMM activates S.A.F.E. mode for:
• NO OIL warning; indicates a nearly empty
oil tank. Refer to Filling the Oil Tank and
Priming the Oil System on page 17.
• OVERHEAT warning; indicates an engine
or EMM overheat condition. Refer to En-
gine Overheating on page 41.
• FAULT warning; indicates a problem exists.
The EMM has identified a problem with the
outboard. Seek assistance and/or return to
harbor immediately. See your Dealer.

ENGINE MONITORING

DIAGNOSTIC LEDS

The Engine Management Module (EMM) has
four LED indicators located on the top corner
of the circuit board.
The LEDs provide quick reference to the sta-
tus of several outboard systems.
The LEDs can be used to identify specific
warning functions of S.A.F.E. mode activation
without ending a day on the water.
IMPORTANT: LED 1 is closest to the center
of the EMM.
To view the LEDs the engine cover must be
removed. Refer to Removing the Engine
Cover on page 17.
The LEDs identify system functions in two
modes, Start Mode and Running Mode.
As the outboard is being started, all four LEDs
should light and then go OFF in sequence.
When the outboard is running, all LEDs
should be OFF.
WARNING
The engine cover and flywheel guard
are machinery guards. Use caution
when the engine is running.
DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Keep hair, hands and clothing away
from rotating parts.
