E - 2 ENGINE EXHAUST
A. Carbon Monoxide
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-
ous. It is important for you and your passengers to be
aware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaust
fumes. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-
viduals overcome by carbon monoxide and, most impor-
tantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust con-
tains carbon monoxide which is colorless and
odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas
that is potentially lethal.
Persons overcome by carbon monoxide may
exhibit the following symptoms:
a. Watering and itchy eyes
b. Flushed appearance
c. Throbbing temples
d. Inattentiveness
e. Inability to think coherently
f. Ringing in the ears
g. Tightness across the chest
h. Headache
i. Drowsiness
j. Incoherence
k. Nausea
l. Dizziness
m. Fatigue
n. Vomiting
o. Collapse
p. Convulsions
IF YOU THINK EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTER-
ING YOUR BOAT, DETERMINE THE CAUSE
AND HAVE IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!
E - 1 GENERAL
DO NOT attempt to service any engine without
being totally familiar with the safe and proper
service procedures. Do not attempt to maintain
or adjust an engine while it is running. Certain
moving parts are exposed and failing to shut off
the engine can result in serious injury or death.
Four Winns does not manufacture engines or drives.
Because of the technical nature of the engine and drive
systems, all manufacturers of these items require that
warranty and service problems be taken directly to an
authorized dealer for resolution. The Four Winns dealer
from whom you purchased your boat will handle all war-
ranty and service matters with the engine manufacturer
for you.
In compliance with the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971
all engine manufacturers require their products to be regis-
tered. A registration card is furnished with each new en-
gine. When selling a Four Winns® boat, the dealer, along
with the purchaser, should complete the information re-
quested on these cards and return them to the respective
engine manufacturers. Engine registration cards are pro-
vided with the engine and will usually be found with the
boat literature.
Each manufacturer of the various marine power compo-
nents provides an owner's information manual with their
product. This publication is included with this manual. It
is important that you read the manual(s) carefully and
become completely familiar with proper care and opera-
tion of the engine and drive system. Be sure to read the
section on winterization. Replacement costs associated
with frozen engine blocks, drive systems and other com-
ponents are quite substantial.
Also review the other sections in this manual, especially
Sections I on Fuel Systems, and Section F on Control
Systems.
