WARNING
Sever Hazard
NEVER service the stern-
drive while under tow or if the
engine is running at idle
speed. The propeller may
rotate under these
circumstances.
If the vessel has more than one engine,
NEVER service a stern-drive if either of the
engines are running. In multi-engine
configurations, the propeller for an engine
that is shut down may rotate if any of the
other engines are running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury or
death. NEVER wear jewelry, unbuttoned
cuffs, ties or loose-fitting clothing, and
ALWAYS tie long hair back when working
near moving / rotating parts such as the
flywheel or PTO shaft. Keep hands, feet and
tools away from all moving parts.
To prevent accidental equipment
movement, NEVER start the engine in gear.
Before starting the engine, ALWAYS make
sure that all bystanders are clear of the area.
Keep children and pets away while the
engine is operating.
Always remove any tools or shop rags used
during maintenance from the area before
operation.
Stop the engine before you begin to service
the stern-drive and secure the propeller so
it will not turn.
Alcohol and Drug Hazard
NEVER operate the engine
while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs or when
feeling ill.
Exposure Hazard
ALWAYS wear personal
protective equipment
including appropriate
clothing, gloves, work
shoes, eye and hearing
protection as required by
the task at hand.
Entanglement Hazard
NEVER leave the key in the
key switch when servicing the
engine or stern-drive.
Someone may accidentally
start the engine and not
realize you are servicing it.
NEVER operate or service the engine while
wearing a headset to listen to music or the
radio because it will be difficult to hear the
warning signals.
Burn Hazard
Some of the engine and stern-
drive surfaces become very
hot during operation and
shortly after shutdown. Keep
hands and other body parts
away from hot surfaces.
