!DANGER
During and aer operation, engine
parts could be hot enough to
cause burns. Do not touch any
parts under the top cover until the
engine has cooled off.
Electric parts
!DANGER
Do not touch any electrical parts
while starting the engine. They
can cause shock or electrocution.
Engine shut-off switch and cord
!DANGER
The purpose of a lanyard stop
switch is to stop the engine when
the operator moves far enough
away from the operator’s position
to activate the switch.
Attach the engine shut-off cord
so that the engine stops if the
operator falls overboard or leaves
the helm.
When activating the engine
shut-off switch the engine will
stop immediately, but the boat
will continue to coast for some
distance depending on velocity
and degree of any turn at shut
down.
Safety and operating information
that is practiced, along with good
common sense, can help prevent
personal injury and product damage.

SAFE BOATING
Boater’s responsibilities
It is always the operator (driver) that
is responsible for the correct and
safe operation of the boat and the
safety of its occupants and general
public. We strongly recommended
that each operator reads and
understands the entire manual
before operating the outboard.
Be sure that at least one additional
person onboard is instructed in the
basics of starting and operating the
outboard and boat handling in case
the driver is unable to operate the
boat.
Boat horse power capacity
Exceeding the boat’s maximum
power rating can cause serious
injury or death. Any overpowering of
the boat can affect boat control and
flotation characteristics or break the
transom.
Do not install an outboard that
exceeds the boat’s maximum power
and weight rating.
Boat performance capacity
Do not overpower or overload
your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating
the maximum acceptable power
and load as determined by
the manufacturer. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or the boat
manufacturer.

CONTROL HEAD OPERATION
Neutral indicator lamp
The neutral indicator lamp (7) has
four states:
– Fast flashing in combination
with lamp (4) indicates
a critical fault which may
result in limited or no system
performance.
!DANGER
Call for assistance, use
another controlling device in
an emergency.
– Steady light: engine is in neutral
– Slow flashing (0.5 s on, 0.5 s
off): Neutral Throttle Warmup is
engaged.
– Very slow flashing (1 s on,
1 s off): Trolling mode is
engaged.
!WARNING
Be very cautious when first
engaging the gears to establish
that FORWARD is truly forward
and REVERSE is truly reverse. A
quick in-and-out of the gear test
is recommended. Ensure that
the boat is clear of all obstacles
around the boat before conducting
this test.
Control lamp
The control lamp (4) has a steady
light indicating that the control head
is active.
!WARNING
A fast flashing light indicates a
non-critical fault which may cause
the boat speed to be reduced. The
system will continue to operate.
Indicator dimming feature
When the control head is active,
pressing the SEL button (6)
repeatedly will cycle through the
available indicator brightness levels.

Low Speed Control (LSC)
enables unprecedented control
while mooring and low speed
maneuvering. LSC incorporates
an electro-hydraulically operated
clutch that ensures smooth shiing
between neutral, forward and
reverse.
The sensor controlled propeller
speed allows for seamless control
from zero to maximum rpm. The
boat is fully operable even below
3-4 knots.
Trolling Mode
When engaging Trolling Mode (TM)
the full throttle range represents
20% of normal throttle range. This
enables a higher resolution of the
throttle maneuvering thus giving the
operator a more precise control in
demanding situations.

OUTBOARD INSTALLATION
!WARNING
Exceeding the boat’s maximum
power rating can cause serious
injury or death. Overpowering the
boat can affect boat control and
flotation characteristics or break
the transom. Do not install an
outboard that exceeds the boat’s
maximum power rating.
Improper mounting of the
outboard can result in hazardous
conditions such as poor handling
or loss of control. Your dealer
or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the
outboard.
Use mounting hardware to secure
only the outboard to the boat.
Do not use outboard mounting
hardware to attach accessories.
The information presented in this
section is intended as reference
only. For more detailed information,
refer to Installation Manual.
Safe and proper mounting depends
on experience and the specific
boat and outboard combination.
Therefore we strongly recommend
that your local dealer install the
outboard and related accessories to
ensure proper installation and good
performance.

OVERVIEW
MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD
The optimum mounting height is
determined by the boat/outboard
combination in addition to the
required use. Test runs at different
heights can be of assistance when
choosing the optimum mounting
height. For further information,
please contact the manufacturer.
!CAUTION
Check the carrying capacity of the
boat, at rest and with maximum
load, during water testing.
Check that the static water level
on the outboard rig is low enough
to prevent water from entering
the powerhead when water rising
due to waves when the outboard
is not running.
Incorrect engine height can create
air born water spray while the
boat is cruising. If the outboard
is operated continuously in the
presence of airborne water spray,
enough water could enter the
engine through the intake opening
on the cowling and cause severe
engine damage.
Eliminate the cause of airborne
water spray.
The outboard should be mounted
in such a way that the boat is well
balanced. Otherwise it could be
difficult to steer. Mount the outboard
on the centerline (keel line) of the
boat.
Mounting height
The mounting height of the outboard
affects its efficiency and reliability. A
mounting that is too high might lead
to propeller ventilation, which will
reduce propulsion due to excessive
propeller slip. There is also a risk of
overheating the outboard due to the
water intakes of the cooling system
may not get enough water supply.
If the outboard mounting is too low,
the water resistance will increase
and thereby reduce the efficiency
and performance of the outboard.
In general, the outboard should be
mounted so that the anti-cavitation
plate is in alignment with the bottom
of the boat.
