strapped firmly to your boat.
• Transport with batteries disconnected from outĆ

WARNING
Electrocution or serious injury can occur if

unĆinsulated battery terminals, connectors, or
wires.
• Remove all jewelry (watches, rings, bracelets,
etc.) when working on the batteries or electrical
systems.
• Prior to wiring the batteries, ensure that the battery
harness is unplugged from the outboard.
• Use 6 gauge wire or larger for battery harness and
all wiring between batteries.
• The batteries must be wired in series to provide 48
volts. Improper wiring of batteries could cause
batteries to explode.
• Keep wire connections to the batteries tight,
maintaining good contact with the battery
terminals.
• Do not disassemble the motor. Voltage and output
have been preĆset by the factory. Any tampering
with motor settings may cause serious damage to
the motor and/or serious injury.
WARNING
The boat and all occupants may capsize if
motor is improperly installed or operated.
• When determining conformity to boat weight
limitations, take into account the weight of the
outboard AND battery pack.
• Capacity of boat should be sufficient to handle
weight of motor, batteries, occupants and occuĆ
pants belongings.
• Follow the boat manufacturer's recommendations
to install the outboard to the boat.
• The capacity plate on the boat shows the maximum
horsepower allowable for your boat. DO NOT
exceed this limit.
• DO NOT operate the boat until the outboard has
been properly installed.
• DO NOT attempt to adjust the trim angle while the
outboard is running.
WARNING
Use the safety lanyard to reduce the possibility
of a running boat causing serious injury or
death should the operator fall overboard.
• The safety lanyard clip MUST be properly
connected to the SAFETY/MOTOR STOP switch
on the outboard AND safety lanyard snap must be
attached to the operator BEFORE using the
outboard.
• Check the function of the SAFETY/MOTOR STOP
switch before each boating day by starting the
outboard and removing the safety lanyard from the
switch. The outboard should then stop operation.
• DO NOT leave the operator's station with the safety
lanyard still connected to the outboard.
• Always stop the outboard before leaving the
operator's station of the boat.
WARNING
Boats can become unstable when engaging
forward or reverse or when changing direction.
The result could be slipping or falling within the
boat or overboard.
• Every person on board must wear and use a U.S.
Coast Guard approved Personal Floatation Device
(PFD).
• Operate the boat with occupants and the operator
safely seated.
• DO NOT stand or make sudden changes in
direction while the boat is in motion.
• DO NOT operate while under the influence of
medication or alcohol.
• Any person operating the boat MUST have full
knowledge of the operation and handling of the
motor and boat.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
• Avoid contact with propeller. Keep people and pets
away from propeller while the outboard is
operating.
• DO NOT run the outboard out of the water.

cylindrical component surrounding the propeller
offers NO protection from a moving propeller. It is
meant for thrust enhancement ONLY.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Tie
up long hair and remove jewelry. DO NOT wear
looseĆfitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items
that could become caught.
• Keep lines, rigging and other equipment inside the
boat.
