Tell someone where you are going: leave a

sure to cancel the Float Plan when you re-
turn.
●
Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and be
sure you understand how your boat han-

operate at safe speeds, and keep a careful
watch for obstacles and other traffic.

Stay away from swimming areas.

When a swimmer is in the water near you
shift into neutral and shut off the engine.

Do not illegally discard empty containers
used to replace or replenish oil. For the cor-
rect processing of empty containers, con-
sult the dealer where you purchased the oil.
●
When replacing oils used to lubricate the

away any spilt oil. Never pour oil without us-
ing a funnel or similar device. If necessary,
verify the necessary replacement proce-
dure with the dealer.
