SAFETY
MARINE PRODUCTS AND THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE
WHO USE THEM
Enjoyable boating is the goal of people who design and build marine products. To reach this goal, manu-
facturers are careful to make sure:
•
Product user is informed; and
•
Products are safe and reliable.
It is up to you, the people who...
•
Rig boats;
•
Fix machinery; and
•
Maintain equipment
...to keep the products safe and reliable.
This section talks about safe boating and how you can help make it safe. Some of these safety issues
you will know, others you may not.
WARNING
This Safety section contains information relevant to the safety of boaters and people that ser-
vice boats. Please read this section carefully and share it with all shop technicians. Always
follow common shop safety practices. If you have not had training related to common shop
safety practices, you should do so not only to protect yourself, but also to protect the people
around you.
It is impossible for this manual to cover every potentially hazardous situation you may
encounter. However, your understanding and adherence to the recommendations contained
in this manual and use of good judgment when servicing outboards will help promote safety.
Always be alert and careful: a good foundation for safety.
First!
A word about parts... Plain parts; special parts; all parts!
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS
“They look the same, but are they the same?”
•
Same size?
•
Same strength?
•
Same material?
•
Same type?
Don’t substitute unless you know they are the same in all characteristics.
Second!
•
Special locking bolts and nuts are often used to hold steering, shift, and throttle remote control
cables to the outboard.
•
When you take any outboard off a boat, keep track of special nuts and bolts. Do not mix with other
parts. Store them on the outboard, then they are there when you need them.
•
When the outboard is returned to the boat, use only the special nuts and bolts to hold remote steer-
ing, shift, and throttle cables to the outboard.
