CAUTION: Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed.
Stop the engine, and remove the spark plug caps and ignition key before servicing the outboard motor.
If the motor must be running to do some work, make sure the area is welt ventilated. Never run the engine in a closed

your working area.
CAUTION
Keep away from rotating or hot parts and high voltage wires when the engine is run with the engine cover off.
