• Lower the outboard slowly AFTER the boat has come to
rest.
STARTING
WARNING
• Connect the safety lanyard hook securely to your
body or clothing.
• Insert the safety lanyard stop switch clip into the
stop switch on the engine. The outboard will not
run if the stop switch clip is not installed correctly.
• Test the function of the safety/engine stop switch
BEFORE each boating day.
• DO NOT use the outboard if it starts in other than
the NEUTRAL position. Contact an authorized
Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer immediately.
Note: For maximum performance and life, operate the
engine with choke in RUN position.

Starting Checklist
1. Completely read instructions and understand operation
of outboard.
2. Check oil and fuel levels.
3. Be certain outboard is secure to boat.
4. Verify that all guards and shields are in place and
functioning.
5. Fuel transport valve should be in ON position.
6. Adjust the trim angle. (See Installation)
7. Attach the safety lanyard to the engine stop switch. (See
Stopping)
8. Attach the safety lanyard hook to the operator.

CAUTION: Failure to allow engine to warm up will
result in premature wear and shorten the life of the
engine.
Ê
1. Pull the choke control
to the full CHOKE position.
Note: It is not necessary to choke a warm engine.
Choking a warm engine can cause the engine to
flood.

slowly until you feel compression.
Then pull the handle rapidly until the outboard is
running. Return the cord slowly after each pull.
4. Push the choke to the RUN position.
Note: In cold weather it may be necessary to leave the
choke partially OPEN until the engine is warmed
up.
5. Run the engine at low speeds for about 3 minutes to
warm up. After warm-up, turn the throttle control to the
IDLE setting.
STOPPING

WARNING
The operator must 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/engine stop switch clip MUST be
properly connected to the safety/engine stop switch
on the outboard AND safety lanyard hook must be
attached to the operator BEFORE using the
outboard.
• Check the function of the safety/engine stop switch
BEFORE each boating day.
• DO NOT leave the operator's station with the
lanyard still connected to the engine.
• Always stop the engine before leaving the operator's
station of the boat.
1. The outboard engine will stop when the stop switch clip

is pulled from the safety/engine stop switch

ENGINE STOP
• Turn the throttle to the IDLE position.
• Place the shift lever in NEUTRAL.
• Depress and hold the safety/engine stop switch, or pull
out the stop switch clip on lanyard.
Note: After stopping the engine, close the air vent

the day disconnect the fuel connector from the
fuel tank to the outboard, then run the engine un-
til it stops from lack of gasoline. Close the trans-
port valve.
OPERATION
Moving the boat FORWARD
• Reduce engine speed to idle. Pull the shift lever from
NEUTRAL to the FORWARD (F) position.
Moving the boat in REVERSE
• Reduce engine speed to idle. Push the shift lever from
NEUTRAL to the REVERSE (R) position.
CAUTION: Never shift into REVERSE unless the
engine is running to avoid damaging shift mechanism.

ALWAYS use the slowest practical speed when operating the
boat in reverse. using high power in reverse may force water
over the transom into the boat.

WARNING
DO NOT shift the outboard at high engine speeds. Severe
damage and personal injury may occur.
ALWAYS shift the outboard with the engine in the IDLE
running position.
• Warm the engine up to operating temperature before
shifting gears.
• Make sure the occupants of the boat are seated in
safe positions whenever engaging FORWARD or
REVERSE.
• Any person operating the boat MUST have full
knowledge of the operation and handling of the motor
and boat.
• DO NOT operate while under the influence of
medication or alcohol.
• Every person on board must wear and use a U.S.
Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device
(PFD).
OVER-SPEED PROTECTION
The outboard is protected from over-speeding with an
electronic engine speed limiter. If the engine over-speeds to
the point of activating the speed limiter, reduce your speed and
return to shore immediately to determine the cause of problem.
When activated, the speed limiter will cause the engine to run
rough, as if it has a misfire.
WARNING
• DO NOT disconnect or modify the electronic
engine speed limiter.
The causes of over-speeding are usually propeller related.
Check the following:
• Broken or bent propeller blades.
• Linkage for freedom of movement.
• Engine stop switch.
• Incorrectly mounted or slipping propeller.
• Propeller ventilation caused by making high speed turns,
or an improper trim angle can also activate the engine
speed limiter.
• Incorrect transom mounting.
SALT WATER OPERATION
The Briggs & Stratton Outboard is designed for fresh
water use. Operation in salt water will result in accumulation of
corrosive deposits on exposed outboard parts. To inhibit
corrosion, take the following steps:
1. Do not leave the lower unit in salt water overnight.
2. After use, rinse the outboard thoroughly with fresh water
and wipe dry.
Salt water is extremely corrosive even when these steps are
taken. Any component failure due to salt water corrosion is
NOT covered under Briggs and Stratton Power Products
warranty.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the outboard. See an Authorized Briggs &
Stratton Service Dealer for service. Use only genuine Briggs
& Stratton parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may
damage the engine, and may result in injury. Use of
non-original parts may void your warranty.
