Use extreme care when refueling the boat. Follow the
safety messages below, and any found in the boat’s
manual or posted at the refueling station.
DANGER!
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Always turn off the engine before refueling. Do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat
when adding fuel. When filling the gas tank, ground the
tank to the source of gasoline by holding the hose noz-
zle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate, or
ground it in some other manner. This action prevents
static electricity buildup that could cause sparks and
ignite fuel vapors.
DANGER!
Fuel and vapors will be present during procedure,
which can result in an explosion; provide ventilation
and eliminate all sources of spark or flame.
Never overfill the tank. Completely close the fuel filler
cap when finished.
DANGER!
To prevent a possible explosion hazard, operate the
engine compartment bilge blower as recommended by
the boat manufacturer before starting the engine. Do
not operate the engine without a fully functioning bilge
blower.
Safety messages covering gasoline and fuel vapors
encountered while working on your boat or engine are
provided in the appropraite locations throughout the
manual. Look for the saftey alert symbol (triangle).
DANGER!
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury.
Never boat near people who are swimming or where
there is a risk that there are people in the water. The
engine must be off if there is anyone in the water near
the boat.
Check that nobody is in the water before shifting the
drive in to gear.
Never swim or board at the rear of the boat when the
engine is running, even if the drive is in neutral.
Never use the drive unit as a ladder or as a lift to board
the boat.
No one should be in the water at the transom or swim
platform if the engine is running. This is also a carbon
monoxide poisoning hazard, see
