clothing, gloves, work
shoes, eye and hearing
protection as required by
the task at hand.

the key switch when you
are servicing the

wearing a headset to listen to music
or radio because it will be difficult to
hear the warning signals.

WARNING
Exhaust Hazard
• Never block windows,
vents, or other means of
ventilation if the engine
is operating in an
enclosed area.
• All internal combustion engines
create carbon monoxide gas during
operation and special precautions are
required to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• To prevent accidental equipment
movement, never start the engine in
gear.
• Before starting the engine, always
make sure that all bystanders are
clear of the area. Keep children and
pets away while the engine is
operating.
• Avoid unexpected equipment
movement. Shift the Sail-Drive into
the NEUTRAL position any time the
engine is at idle.
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Always turn off the
battery switch (if
equipped) or disconnect
the negative battery
cable before servicing
the Sail-Drive.
• Always keep the electrical connectors
and terminals clean. Check the
electrical harnesses for cracks,
abrasions, and damaged or corroded
connectors.
