MAKO OPERATOR’S GUIDE - SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY MATTERS
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT TO DETECT AND CAN ACCUMULATE
WITHOUT AWARENESS. EXPOSURE CAN BE
FATAL IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. EFFECTS OF CARBON
MONOXIDE ARE CUMULATIVE AND REPEATED EXPOSURE
TO LOW AMOUNTS CAN HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT AS TO
A SINGLE HIGH CONCENTRATION EXPOSURE. CARBON
MONOXIDE SHOULD BE AVOIDED, WHILE ANY EXPOSURE
SHOULD BE TREATED IMMEDIATELY.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, tasteless
gas that may be present even if you do not see or
smell any engine exhaust fumes. Deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can
quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself.
Breathing carbon monoxide from the jetboard’s
exhaust system can cause headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, confusion and eventually death.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning, turn off the engine, leave the affected area,
get as much fresh air as possible and seek medical
treatment immediately.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon
monoxide:
»
Never leave or run the jetboard in poorly
ventilated or partially enclosed areas. Even
if you try to ventilate exhaust fumes, carbon
monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
»
Never run the jetboard out of the water where
exhaust fumes can be inhaled or drawn into
a building or boat through openings such as
windows and doors.
»
Never stand behind the jetboard while the
engine is running. Despite the exhaust
ventilating into the water, a person standing
behind a running engine may inhale high
concentrations of exhaust fumes. Inhalation
of concentrated exhaust fumes that contain
carbon monoxide can result in CO poisoning,
serious health problems and death.
FUEL SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
FUEL IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND HIGHLY
EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
ALWAYS WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
FUEL VAPORS CAN SPREAD AND BE IGNITED BY A
SPARK OR FLAME MANY FEET AWAY FROM THE ENGINE.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these
instructions:
»
Use an approved fuel container to transport
and store fuel that has been specially designed
to reduce spillage, evaporation or permeation.
»
Strictly adhere to the instructions outline in the
Fueling Procedure section of this Operator’s
Guide. Always stop the engine and allow to cool
before re-fuelling.
»
Do not overfill or top off the fuel tank. Fuel
expands as temperatures increase and may
overflow.
»
Never operate the jetboard if fuel or fuel vapor
odor are present in the engine compartment.
Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the
jetboard.
»
Do not store or transport your jetboard with any
fuel remaining in the engine or fuel tank. This
can also result in damage to your jetboard.
»
Do not experiment with other fuels. Only use
the fuel and oil recommended in this Operator’s
Guide. Engine or fuel system damage may
occur with the use of inadequate fuel.
Fuel is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
»
Never siphon fuel with your mouth.
»
If you swallow fuel, get any in your eyes, or
inhale fuel vapors, see a doctor immediately.
»
If fuel gets spilled on you, wash thoroughly with
soap and warm water and change your clothes.
