CALIFORNIA
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Diesel engine exhaust and some
of its constituents are known to
the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other
reproductive harm.
A wARNING:
Exhaust gasses contain Carbon Monoxide, an odorless and
colorless gas. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide
exposure can include:
•Dizziness
•Nausea
•Headache
• Throbbing in Temples
• Muscular Twitching
• Vomiting
• Weakness and Sleepiness • Inability to Think Coherently

. very hot!
iii Monitor engiile ·an~ze coolant ievei at the plastic
coolant recovery tank and periodicaly at the filler cap
location on the water jacketed exhaust manifold, but only
when the engine is COLD.
A WARNING: Steam can cause injury or death!
11 In case of an engine overheat, allow the engine to cool
before touching the engine or checking the coolant
PREVENT BURNS- FIRE
A WARNING: Fire can cause injury or death!
II Prevent flash fires. Do not smoke or pennit flames or
sparks to occur near the fuel injector, fuel line, filter, fuel
pump, or other potential sources ofspilled fuel orfuel
vapors. Use a suitable container to catch all fuel when
removing the fuel lines or fuel filters.
II Do not operate with the air cleaner/silencer removed.
Backfire can cause severe injury or death.
II Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near
the fuel sysfem. ~eep the compartment and the
engine
dean and free ofdebris to minimize the
chances of
fire. Wipe up all spilled fuel and engine oil.
1111 Be aware -diesel fuel will burn.
PREVENT BURNS - EXPLOSION
A WARNING: Explosions from fuel vapors can cause
Injury or detftll!
llill Follow re-fueling safety instructions. Keep the vessel's
hatches closed when fueling. Open and ventilate the cabin
after fueling. Check below for fumes/vapor before running
the blower. Run the blower per four minutes before starting
your engine.
111 All fuel vapors are highly explosive. Use extreme care
when handling and storing fuels. Store fuel in a
well-ventilated area
away from spark-producing
equipment and out ofthe reach ofchildren.
Ill Do not fill the fuel tank(s) while the .engine while it is running.
1111 Shut off the fuel service valve at the engine when servicing
the fuel system. Take care in catching any fuel that might
spill. DO NOT allow any smoking, open flames, or other
sources of fire near the fuel system or engine when
servicing. Ensure proper ventilation exists when servici.1g
the fuel system.
iii Qo not alter or modify the fuel system.
llill ~~ sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.
Ill Be certain fuel line fittings are adequately tightened and
free ofleaks.
Ill Make sure a fire extinguisher is installed nearby and is
properly maintained. Be familiar with its proper use.
Extinguishers rated ABC by the NFPA are appropriate
for all applications encountered in this environment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ACCIDENTAL STARTING
A WARNING: Accidental starting can cause injury
or death!
11 Disconnect the battery cables before servicing the engine/
generator. Remove the negative lead first and reconnect
it
last. ·
11 Make certain all personnel are clear of the engine before
starting.
11 Make certain all covers, guards, and hatches are re-
installed before starting the engine.
BAnERY EXPLOSION
A WARNING: Battery explosion can cause Injury
or death!
11 Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the battery
being serviced. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen, a
highly explosive
gas, which can be ignited by electrical
arcing or by lit tobacco products. Shut off all electrical
equipment
in the vicinity to prevent electrical arcing dur-
ing servicing.
11 Never connect the negative(-) battery cable to the posi-
tive (+) connection terminal ofthe starter solenoid. Do
not test the battery condition by shorting the terminals
together. Sparks could ignite battery gases or fuel vapors.
Ventilate any compartment containing batteries to prevent
accumulation ofexplosive
gases. To avoid sparks, do not
disturb the battery charger connections while the battery
is being charged.
11 Avoid contacting the terminals with tools, etc., to prevent
burns or sparks that could cause an explosion. Remove
wristwatch, rings,
and any other jewelry before handling
the battery.
1!11 Always turn the battery charger off before disconnecting .
the battery connections. Remove the negative lead first
and reconnect it last when disconnecting the battery.
BAnERYACID
A WARNING: Sulfuric acid In batteries can cause
severe injury or death!
111 When servicing the battery or checking the electrolyte
level, wear rubber gloves, a rubber apron, and eye protec-
tion. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is destructive.
If it comes
in contact with your skin, wash it off at once
with water. Acid may splash on the skin or into the eyes
inadvertently when removing electrolyte caps.
TOXIC EXHAUST GASES
A WARNING: Carbon monoxide (CO} is a deadly gas!
11!1 Ensure that the exhaust system is adequate to expel gases
discharged from the engine. Check the exhaust system
regularly for leaks and make sure the exhaust manifolds
are securely attached and no warping exists. Pay close
attention to the manifold, water injection elbow, and
exhaust pipe nipple.
II Be sure the unit and its surroundings are well ventilated.
111 In addition to routine inspection of the exhaust system,
install a carbon monoxide
detector. Consult your boat
builder or dealer for installation of approved detectors.
11 For additional information refer to ABYC T-22 (educa-
tional information on Carbon Monoxide).
A WARNING: Carbon monoxide (CO} Is an invisible
odorless gas. Inhalation produces flu·like symptoms,
nausea or death!
11 Do not use copper tubing in diesel exhaust systems. Diesel
fumes can rapidly destroy copper tubing in exhaust sys-
tems. Exhaust sulfur causes rapid deterioration ofcopper
tubing resulting in exhaust/water leakage.
111 Do not install exhaust outlet where exhaust can be drawn
through portholes, vents, or air conditioners. If the engine
exhaust discharge outlet
is near the waterline, water could
enter the exhaust discharge outlet and dose or restrict the
flow of exhaust. Avoid overloading the craft.
11 Although diesel engine exhaust gases are not as toxic as
exhaust fumes from gasoline engines, carbon monoxide
gas is present in diesel exhaust fumes. Some of the symp-
toms or signs ofcarbon monoxide inhalation or poisoning
are:
Vomiting
Dizziness
Throbbing in temples
Muscular twitching
Intense headache
Weakness and sleepiness
AVOID MOVING PARTS
A WARNING: Rotating parts can cause injury
or death!
11 Do not service the engine while it is running. If a situa-
tion arises in which it is absolutely necessary to make
operating adjustments, use extreme care to avoid touch-
ing moving parts and hot exhaust system components.
