DANGER!

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where they can be acci-
dently ignited.
• Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine and fuel compartments for fumes or
accumulation of fuel.
• ALWAYS run the bilge blowers for at least four minutes before turning on electrical devices,
starting the engine, or electrical system maintenance.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing the batteries to open flame or
sparks. NEVER smoke anywhere near the batteries.
WARNING!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running since it can cause
damage to your boat’s electrical system components.
CAUTION!

keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is designed to protect
connections from corrosion.
