OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
Refuel With Care
• Gasoline is extremely
flammable, and gasoline
vapor can explode. Refuel
outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area, with the engine stopped.
Never smoke near gasoline,
and keep other flames and
sparks away.
• Refuel carefully to avoid
spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling
the fuel tank.
• After refueling, tighten the
filler cap securely. If any fuel is
spilled, make sure the area is
dry before starting the engine.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to
death.
If you run the engine in an area
that is confined, or even partly
enclosed, the air you breathe
could contain a dangerous
amount of exhaust gas.
Never run your outboard inside a
garage or other enclosure.
WARNING
Running the engine of your
outboard while in an enclosed
or partially enclosed area can
cause a rapid build-up of toxic
carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colorless,
odorless gas can quickly cause
unconsciousness and lead to
death.
Only run your outboard engine
when it is located in a well-
ventilated area outdoors.
