WARNING
The safety messages that follow have
WARNING level hazards. These safety
messages describe a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
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.
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.
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.
