of
possible damage
to
equipment.
Read the
manual carefully and thoroughly before attempting
to operate the equipment. Know when dangerous conditions
can exist and take necessary precautions
to
protect personnel
and equipment.
Fuels, exhaust gases, batteries, electrical equipment, and
moving and
hot
parts are potential hazards
that
could result in
serious personal injury
or
death. Follow recommended proce-
dures
carefully.
Always operate bilge blowers for
at
least five minutes before
starting a
gasoline-fueled engine; ensure no gaSOline fumes are
present before starting.
• prevent Electric Shock
Shut
off
electric power before accessing electrical equip-
ment.
Use insulated mats whenever working on electrical equip-
ment.
Make sure
your
clothing is dry, not
damp
(particularly
shoes), and keep
your
skin surfaces
dry
when handling
electrical equipment.
Remove wristwatch and jewelry when working on electri-
cal equipment.
Do
not
connect utility shore power
to
vessel's AC circuits,
except
through
a ship-to-shore double-throw transfer
switch. Damage
to
vessel's AC generator
may
result
if
this
is
not
done.
Be
extremely careful when working on electrical
com-
ponents. High voltage can cause injury
or
death.
• Exhaust
Gases
Are
Toxic
Ensure
thatthe
exhaust system is adequate
to
expel gases
discharged
from
the engine. Check exhaust system
regularly
for
leaks and make sure
the
exhaust manifolds
are securely attached and
no
warping exists.
Be
sure the
unit
and its surroundings are well-ventilated.

Be certain fuel line fittings are adequately tightened and
.free
of
leaks.
Make sure a fire extinguisher is
installed nearby and

• properly maintained.
Be
familiar with its proper use.
Ex-
tinguishers rated ABC
by
the NFPA are appropriate for all
applications
encountered in this environment.
•
Use
Extreme
Care
When
Servicing Batteries
Wear rubber gloves, a rubber apron, and eye protection
when servicing batteries.
Lead acid batteries
emit
hydrogen, a highly-explosive gas,
which can be ignited
by
electrical arcing
or
by
a lighted
cigarette, cigar,
or
pipe. Do
not
smoke
or
allow an open
flame near the battery being serviced. Shut
off all electri-
cal
equipment
in the viCinity to prevent electrical arcing
during
serviCing.
•
Avoid
Moving parts
Do
not service the unit while the
unit
is running; if a situa-
tion arises
in
which
it
is
absolutely necessary
to
make
operating adjustments, use extreme care
to
avoid moving
parts and
hot
exhaust system components.
Do
not
wear loose clothing
or
jewelry when servicing
equipment; avoid wearing loose jackets, shirts
or
sleeves,
rings, necklaces,
or
bracelets
that
might
be
caught in
moving parts.
Make sure
all attaching hardware is properly tightened.
Keep protective shields and guards in their respective
place
at
all times.
Do not check
fluid levels
or
the drive-belt's tension while
the unit is operating.
