Safety On Board
EXHAUST & CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust can be hazardous. It is important
for you and your passengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by exhaust gases. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
For safety sake avoid the following:
1. Do not allow the boat to remain stationary with the engine idling
for an extended period of time.
2. Do not disable the carbon monoxide alarms that come with your
Regal boat. Test the unit in accordance with the alarm manufacturers
instructions.
3. Do not operate the engine for extended periods of time while in a
con
fi ned area or where exhaust outlets face a wall or bulkhead.
4. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with the
canvas in the upright and installed position.
5. Have the engine exhaust system inspected when the boat is in for
service.
6. Persons sleeping can easily be overcome by carbon monoxide without
realizing it. Do not sleep on board while the engine is running or a
neighboring boats engine is running.
