EXTREME FIRE, SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• To minimize the risks of fire and explosion, NEVER install knife switches or other arcing
devices in the fuel compartments.
• NEVER substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition and fuel system
parts were designed and manufactured to comply with rules and regulations that minimize
risks of fire and explosion.
• DO NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualified personnel should install batteries and/or perform electrical system
maintenance.
• Insure that all battery switches are turned OFF before performing any work in the engine
spaces.
DANGER!
!
FIRE, OPEN FLAME & 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 operate the bilge blowers for at least four minutes
prior to engine starting, electrical system maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to open flame or sparks.
It is also important that no one 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!
!
Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused electrical problems,
keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is designed to protect
connections from corrosion.
