WARNING
Explosion Hazard
While the engine is
running or the battery is
charging, hydrogen gas is
being produced and can
be easily ignited. Keep the
area around the battery
well-ventilated and keep sparks, open
flame and any other form of ignition out
of the area.
Fire Hazard
Undersized wiring
systems can cause an
electrical fire.
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.
WARNING
(Continued)
• 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.
