Throughout this manual
alerting the boat owner and/or operator to dangerous or potentially dangerous situations that
may arise. Those terms have the following respective meanings whenever they appear herein:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoid-
ed, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoid-
ed, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoid-
ed, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potential-
ly hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property
damage.
Failure to adhere to and comply with the safety dangers, warnings and cautions that
appear in this manual can lead to serious illness, injury or even death and/or damage
to your boat or the property of others. Beyond these warnings, boaters have a personal
responsibility to utilize a common sense approach to the boating experience, including
keeping individuals off or near the swim platform and the stern area of the boat during
the engine operation. Personal flotation devices ("PFDs") save lives and ensure positive
experiences. ILMOR offers many proactive approaches to the boating expe-
rience, but the consumer is ultimately responsible for the positive and safe
involvement in boating.
