and standards to ensure their products are safe and reliable for the
consumer. As the marine technician, it is your responsibility to keep

This section discusses safe shop practices and general safety
concerns relevant to the operations performed throughout this
manual. Read this section carefully and follow all safety statements in
this manual as they pertain to the procedures at hand. Remember,
always use common sense when servicing outboard engines!
