GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
ENOM00009-1
SAFE OPERATION OF BOAT
1
As the operator/driver of a 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 out-
board motor, please read through this manual carefully.
It is very difficult for a person 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 out-
board motor must 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.
ENOM00247-1
STOP SWITCH LANYARD
The engine can be stopped by 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 if the
operator accidentally falls overboard or leaves from operator's position. This function
may prevent losing control of the boat and minimize or prevent risk of collision with
other 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
As the operator/driver and passenger of a boat, you are responsible to wear a PFD (Per-
sonal Flotation Device) while on the boat.
