X IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
This Operator’s Guide contains essential in-
formation to help prevent personal injury and
damage to equipment. Safety messages ap-
pear throughout this Guide in the applicable
section.
All
safety equipment and personal
floatation devices must be in good con-
dition and suitable for your type of boat.
Always comply with the regulations that
apply to your boat.
WARNING
Remember, gasoline fumes are flamma-
ble and explosive. Always adhere to the
fueling procedure contained in this Op-
erator’s Guide and those given to you by
the fueling station. Always verify fuel lev-
el before use and during the ride. Apply
the principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/
3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do
not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids
in any storage or engine compartments.
Be careful! Human error is caused by
many factors: carelessness, fatigue,
overload, preoccupation, unfamiliarity
of operator with the product, drugs and
alcohol to name a few. Damage to your
boat and outboard can be fixed in a
short period of time, but injury or
death, has a lasting effect.
For your safety and the safety of oth-
ers, follow all safety warnings and rec-
ommendations. Do not disregard any
of the safety precautions and instruc-
tions.
Whenever running the engine, assure
there is proper ventilation to avoid the
accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO),
which is odorless, colorless, and taste-
less, and can lead to unconsciousness,
brain damage, or death if inhaled in suf-
ficient concentrations. CO accumulation
can occur while docked, anchored, or
underway, and in many confined areas
such as the boat cabin, cockpit, swim
platform, and heads. It can be worsened
or caused by weather, mooring and op-
erating conditions, and other boats.
Avoid exhaust fumes from your engine
or other boats, provide proper ventila-
tion, shut off your engine when not
needed, and be aware of the risk of
backdrafting and conditions that create
CO accumulation. In high concentra-
tions, CO can be fatal within minutes.
Lower concentrations are just as lethal
over long periods of time.
Anyone operating your boat should
first read and understand this Guide
before they operate your boat and out-
board.
SAFETY MEASURES — General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoy-
ment and excitement of boating there
are some basic rules that should be ob-
served and followed by any boater.
Some rules may be new to you and oth-
ers may be common sense or obvious...
irrespective, take them seriously!
Be sure at least one of your passengers
knows how to handle your boat in case
of an emergency.
Avoid standing up or shifting weight sud-
denly in light weight boats.
All passengers should know the location
of emergency equipment and how to
use it.
Keep your passengers seated in seats.
The boat’s bow, gunwale, transom and
seat backs are not intended for use as
seats.
Know the marine traffic laws and obey
them.
