STEERING AT CONSOLE

WARNING
Loose or worn steering could lead to an accident causing injury or death.
Your new Ranger Aluminum model may be equipped with no feed back steering. This is mechanical steering
that is designed to help reduce engine torque, felt at the wheel, to a minimum. However, a firm grip on the steering
wheel is required at all times.
You should familiarize yourself with the feel of the steering at various speeds and trim settings. NEVER exceed
speeds beyond your comfort level.
WARNING
Fuel Systems & Steering
Spilled fuel is a fire hazard. DO NOT overfill or overflow the tank,
or allow fuel spills into the hull or bilge. If spillage occurs, clean up
immediately and dispose of soiled rags in a proper container.
A wide variety of components used on this vessel contain or emit
chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects and other
reproductive harm.
The steering in your boat is one of the most important items and should
be checked by the driver every time the boat is used. You should
school yourself and make it a habit to check the steering methodically.
The driver must always keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Failure
to do so could lead to an accident causing injury or death.
