The safety messages that follow have NOTICE
level hazards.
It is important to perform the daily checks as listed
in this
Operation Manual
. Periodic maintenance
prevents unexpected downtime, reduces the
number of accidents due to poor engine or
stern-drive performance and can help extend the
life of the engine and stern-drive.
ALWAYS be environmentally
responsible. Follow the guidelines of
the EPA or other governmental
agencies for the proper disposal of
hazardous materials such as
lubrication oil, diesel fuel and engine coolant.
Consult the local authorities or reclamation facility.
NEVER dispose of hazardous materials by
dumping them into a sewer, on the ground or into
ground water or waterways.
Before operating the engine, check stern-drive oil
level.
If the stern-drive oil temperature is too high, stop
engine immediately and check the stern-drive oil
level and check the oil cooler for proper coolant and
water flow. Always tighten components to the
specified torque. Loose parts can cause equipment
damage or cause it to operate improperly.
Only use replacement parts specified. Other
replacement parts may affect warranty coverage.
NEVER attempt to modify the stern-drive’s design
or safety features. Failure to comply may impair the
stern-drive’s safety and performance
characteristics and shorten the stern-drive’s life.
Any alterations to this stern-drive may affect the
warranty coverage of your stern-drive.
NEVER use the stern-drive lifting eye to lift the
engine and stern-drive as an assembly. Use the
engine lifting eyes to lift the engine and stern-drive.
Only use the stern-drive lifting eye to lift the
stern-drive as a separate component.
