Other Safety Considerations
Fuel System Safety
When fueling your Manitou, it is important to be aware that gasoline can
pose a health and safety hazard. Gasoline is highly flammable, and
mishandling it can result in injury or death. Always observe all posted
safety warnings while fueling your boat, including no smoking
requirements.
Always turn off the engine while fueling your boat.
Never smoke while fueling your boat.
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive. To prevent
a possible explosion and fire, check for fumes or
an accumulation of fuel before starting the engine.
Stop Switch Lanyard
The stop switch lanyard is a safety device designed to
automatically stop the engine when the lanyard is
detached from the binnacle control. When your boat is
under power, the lanyard clip should be attached to the
driver’s clothing, leg, or arm. If the driver moves away
from the binnacle control, the power will be cut,
preventing your boat from running without a driver
present at the controls.
Note:
The stop switch lanyard on your boat
may differ from the one shown here.
