SAFETY AWARENESS
Your CROWNLINE Owner’s/Operator’s Manual uses five levels of advisory and
hazard statements to alert you to special information, operating procedures or safety
precautions. All statements begin with a signal word to identify the level and
importance of the statement. Statement levels follow this order:
Hazard and Levels
The use of hazard statements is determined by the likely consequence of the
warning with regard to severity (death, serious personal injury or minor injury), and
the probability of severity (WILL result in, COULD result in). Not following the
recommendations contained in any of these statements may result in death or
serious personal injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
Advisory and Levels
Advisory statements signal conditions that affect equipment operation, maintenance
and servicing practices. These statements occur in two levels:
NOTE:
Used to signal the possibility of damage to equipment or associated
components.
IMPORTANT:

particular section of text.
SAFETY ON-BOARD
