Other Safety Considerations
Carbon Monoxide
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is an odorless and
colorless gas. Carbon monoxide is toxic and can be fatal if breathed over
an extended period of time. Symptoms of CO inhalation include, but are
not limited to, dizziness, nausea, headache, sleepiness, vomiting,
throbbing in the temples, muscular twitching, and an inability to think
clearly. If these systems are present and persist in you or another
individual, seek urgent medical attention.
On your boat, carbon monoxide in engine exhaust can accumulate within
enclosed areas during operation at slow speeds or when stopped in the
water. Using the rear enclosure while the boat is underway increases the
risk of CO accumulation in your boat, and the presence of a tail wind can
increase accumulation. Provide adequate ventilation at all times, and
increase speed as needed.
Carbon monoxide can be harmful or fatal if
inhaled. Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage,
away from open windows. Provide adequate
ventilation at all times.
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.
