board. It contains pertinent informa-
tion which, if followed, will provide you
with
a
thorough
needed for proper operation, mainte-
nance, care, and—above all—safety.
Safety is our first priority and it should
be yours too. It is strongly recom-
mended you read this Guide from cov-
er to cover. The more you know and
understand about your Evinrude E-
TEC outboard, the greater the safety
and pleasure you will get from using it.
Following this recommendation will
assure the completeness of the infor-
mation essential to your safety, the
safety of any passengers, and other
water users.
This Operator's Guide identifies im-
portant safety messages.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard,
the
application of the information will pro-
mote the correct use of your outboard
engine.
