Daily Checks
Make a habit of giving the engine and engine bay a
visual check before driving (before starting the
engine) and after operation (when you have stopped
the engine). This will help you to quickly discover
whether
there is any leakage of fuel, coolant, oil or any
other abnormal event has occurred, or is about to
occur.
WARNING!
Do not start the engine if there is reason to suspect
fuel and/or propane leaks, or if there is explosive
material nearby.
Maneuvering
To avoid passengers falling overboard, refrain from
extreme and sudden rudder movements and ahead/
astern movements.
A rotating propeller can cause severe injuries. Make
sure
that there is nobody in the water before engaging
ahead/astern drive. Never drive close to bathers or in
areas where it can be expected that people are in the
water.
Lanyard Switch
We recommend installing and using a lanyard switch
(optional), especially if the boat is capable of high
speeds. The lanyard switch stops the engine if the
driver looses control of the boat.
Fuel Filling
There is always a risk of fire and explosion during
fueling.
Smoking is forbidden and the engine must be
stopped during fueling.
Never overfill the tank. Close the fuel filler cap
securely.
Only use fuel recommended in the Technical
Data, page 130. The wrong grade of fuel can cause
serious malfunctions, power loss or stop the engine.
In diesel engines, fuel of poor quality can cause
damage to the fuel system or cause the engine to
over-speed, with risk of personal injury.
Accidents at Sea
Maritime rescue statistics show that a large number
of boat accidents are caused by inadequate engine
and boat maintenance and the lack of safety
equipment.
Make sure that the boat engine is properly maintained
by making sure that the recommended service is
performed, and that necessary safety equipment is
available and functional.
