Owner's Manual
Top mount type
Not equipped with a lock-out lever. Exercise care when selecting neutral position.
Speed control
To increase speed after you have shifted into gear, continue moving the control handle forward or rearward.
Since the same handle is used for shifting and speed control it is possible to move the handle past the detent and engage the throttle. This can cause the boat to move suddenly resulting in personal injury or property damage. You must be careful not to move the control handle too far forward or rearward when shifting.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
When it is necessary to stop the engine in an emergency, pull the emergency stop switch lock plate out of the emergency stop switch by pulling the emergency stop switch cord.
If equipped with Keyless Start System:
To stop the engine:
- Shift into “NEUTRAL”.
After operating at full throttle, cool off the engine a few minutes by allowing it to idle or troll at low speed.
Push the main switch to stop the engine.
- Turn the Keyless Start System to OFF (locked) status by one of the following methods.
- Make sure that the key-fob is within the communication range of the keyless control unit. Turn the main switch to the “ON & OFF” (“ ”) position and then release it. The main switch automatically returns to the “PUSH START/STOP” position. The buzzer sounds once to notify that the Keyless Start System has been turned to OFF (locked) state.
If equipped with Dual Engine:
When either one of the engines of Keyless Start System is turned OFF, another engine will automatically be turned OFF.
- While the key-fob is within the communication range of the keyless control unit, press the lock button 1 on the key-fob. The buzzer sounds once to notify that the Keyless Start System has been turned OFF (locked).
Even when the engine is stopped, all lamps in the monitor-tachometer will continue to light, unless the Keyless Start System is turned to
OFF state.
If the Keyless Start System is in ON state while the engine is not running, the battery will be discharged. Always turn the Keyless Start System to OFF state when the engine is not running.
Unauthorized use of your boat could lead to an accident or damage to your boat. To prevent unauthorized use of your boat, be sure to remove the key and emergency stop switch lock plate when the boat is unattended.
- After stopping the engine, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard motor if there is a fuel connector.
If you leave the motor stopped for a long period of time with the fuel line connected, fuel can leak out.
