The outboard motor is designed to supply dependable power to approved motor craft in fresh water only.

Never place metal object across battery posts. To check for charge use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
Transport with batteries disconnected from outboard.

Prior to wiring the batteries, ensure that the battery harness is unplugged from the outboard.
Stop the motor and remove safety lanyard from SAFETY/MOTOR STOP switch before tilting.
Do not transport the boat with the outboard in the UP position.
