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.
not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids
in any storage or engine compartments.
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.
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.
Anyone   operating  your   boat   should
first  read  and  understand  this  Guide
before they operate  your boat and out-
board.
