INTRODUCTION

Read this safety manual carefully. Most accidents are caused

by failure to follow fundamental rules and precautions.

Know when dangerous conditions exist and take the

necessary precautions to protect yourself, your personnel,

and your machinery.

The following safety instructions are in compliance with

the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards.

PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK

■ Do not operate this machinery without electrical

enclosures and covers in place.

■ Shut off electrical power before accessing electrical

equipment.

■ Use insulated mats whenever working on electrical

equipment.

■ Make sure your clothing and skin are dry, not damp

(particularly shoes) when handling electrical equipment.

■ Remove wristwatch and all jewelry when working on

electrical equipment.

■ Do not connect utility shore power to vessel’s AC

circuits, except through a ship-to-shore double throw

transfer switch. Damage to vessel’s AC generator may

result if this procedure is not followed.

■ Electrical shock results from handling a charged capacitor.

Discharge capacitor by shorting terminals together.

PREVENT BURNS — HOT ENGINE

■ Always check the engine coolant level at the coolant

recovery tank.

■ In case of an engine overheat, allow the engine to cool

before touching the engine or checking the coolant.

▲ WARNING:

Steam can cause injury or death!

▲ WARNING:

Do not touch hot engine parts or

exhaust system components. A running engine gets very

hot!

PREVENT BURNS — FIRE

■ Prevent flash fires. Do not smoke or permit flames or

sparks to occur near the carburetor, fuel line, filter, fuel

pump, or other potential sources of spilled fuel or fuel

vapors. Use a suitable container to catch all fuel when

removing the fuel line, carburetor, or fuel filters.

■ Do not operate with a Coast Guard Approved flame

arrester removed. Backfire can cause severe injury or

death.

■ Do not operate with the air cleaner/silencer removed.

Backfire can cause severe injury or death.

■ Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks to occur near the

fuel system. Keep the compartment and the engine/genera-

tor clean and free of debris to minimize the chances of

fire. Wipe up all spilled fuel and engine oil.

■ Be aware — diesel fuel will burn.

PREVENT BURNS — EXPLOSION

■ Follow re-fueling safety instructions. Keep the vessel’s

hatches closed when fueling. Open and ventilate cabin

after fueling. Check below for fumes/vapor before

running the blower. Run the blower for four minutes

before starting your engine.

■

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 of the

reach of children.

■ Do not fill the fuel tank(s) while the engine is running.

■

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 servicing

the fuel system.

■ Do not alter or modify the fuel system.

■ Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.

■ Be certain fuel line fittings are adequately tightened and

free of leaks.

■ 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.

▲ WARNING:

Explosions from fuel vapors can cause

injury or death!

▲ WARNING:

Fire can cause injury or death!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▲ WARNING:

Do not touch AC electrical connections

while engine is running, or when connected to shore

power. Lethal voltage is present at these connections!
