ENGINE EXHAUST
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 im-
portantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
DO NOT attempt to service any engine with-
out being totally familiar with the safe and
proper service procedures. Do not attempt
to maintain or adjust an engine while it is run-
ning. Certain moving parts are exposed and
failing to shut off the engine can result in se-
rious injury or death.
DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust con-
tains carbon monoxide which is colorless and
odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas
that is potentially lethal.

new engine. When selling a Four Winns® boat, the
dealer, along with the purchaser, should complete the
information requested on these cards and return them

istration cards are provided with the engine and will
