motor on boat
ENOW00006-1C
WARNING
Gas assist type:
When taking outboard motor from pack-
age or removing outboard motor from the
boat, never release the lock lever. If the
lock lever is released, it will very easy for
the clamp bracket to spring up to the tilt-
ing direction because it is not fixed.
To avoid personal injury or damage of
equipment, make sure the allowable lift-
ing capacity of the hoist is at least twice
the weight of the outboard motor.
Do not allow the lift hook or chain from
the hoist to come in contact with any part
of the outboard motor during lifting.
ENOW00006-1
Most boats are rated and certified for their
maximum allowable horsepower, as shown
on the boat's certification plate. Do not
equip your boat with an outboard motor that
exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your
dealer.
Do not operate the outboard motor until it
has been securely mounted on the boat in
accordance with the instructions below.
ENOW00009-2A
Mounting outboard motor must be per-
formed by trained service person(s) in
well-equipped place where lift or hoist
can be used.
ENOF00840-0
WARNING
WARNING
Mounting the outboard motor without
following this manual can lead to unsafe
conditions such as poor maneuverability,
lack of control or fire.
Loose clamp screws and/or mounting
hardware can lead to the release or dis-
placement of the outboard motor, possi-
bly resulting in loss of control and/or
serious personal injury. Be sure that fas-
teners are tightened to the specified
torque. Check the fasteners for tightness
before operating your outboard.
Be sure to use outboard mounting hard-
ware included in the outboard motor
package or their equivalents in terms of
size, material, quality and strength.
