GENERAL
A. Carbon Monoxide
DO NOT attempt to service any engine or drive
component without being totally familiar with the
safeandproperserviceprocedures. Certainmov-
ing parts are exposed and can prove dangerous
to one unfamiliar with the operation and function
of the equipment.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-
ous. It is important for you and your passengers to be
aware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaust
fumes. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-
viduals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most impor-
tantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
Four Winns does not manufacture engines or drives.
Because of the technical nature of the engine and drive
systems, all manufacturers of these items require that
warranty and service problems be taken directly to an
authorized dealer for resolution. The Four Winns dealer
from whom you purchased your boat, will handle all war-
ranty and service matters with the engine manufacturer
for you.
DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust con-
tains carbon monoxide which is colorless and
odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas

Each manufacturer of the various marine power compo-
nents provides an owners information manual with their
product. This publication is included with this manual. It
is important that you read the manual(s) carefully and
become completely familiar with proper care and opera-
tion of the engine and drive system. Be sure to read the
section on winterization. Replacement costs associated
with frozen engine blocks, drive systems and other com-
ponents are quite substantial.
