nents in the engine compartment
may be very hot. Direct contact may
result in skin burn.
Oil level can be checked with water-
craft either in or out of water.
Out of Water
NOTICE
Watercraft must be level.
CAUTION
When

the engine out of water, the heat
exchanger may become very hot.
Avoid any contact with the heat ex-
changer as burns may occur.
1. Raise trailer tow pole, then block in
position when bumper rail is level.
