GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and
eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be
present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save
yourself. Also, 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, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical
treatment. To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
Never run the watercraft in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as
watercraft houses, seawalls or other boats in close proximity. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Never run the watercraft outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a
building through openings such as windows and doors.
Never stand behind the watercraft while the engine is running. 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.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. 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 only an approved red gasoline container to store fuel.
