• Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and the
safety and reliability of the outboard motor.
• To avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses when filing metals, working on a grinder, or
doing other work, which could cause debris.
• When two or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other.
• When it is necessary to run the outboard motor indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is vented
outdoors.
• When testing an outboard motor in the water, ensure that the necessary safety equipment is on
board.
Such equipment includes: flotation aids for each person, fire extinguisher, distress signals, anchor,
paddles, bilge pump, first aid kit, emergency starter rope, etc.
• When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is well
ventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer's instructions.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
• To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil or exhaust system during or shortly
after engine operation.
• Oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed from contact with oil. Keep new and used
oil away from children and pets. To minimize your exposure to oil, wear a long sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as latex gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet with oil. Recycle or properly
dispose of used oil.
• After servicing the fuel, lubrication, cooling and/or the exhaust system, check all lines and fittings
related to the system for leaks.
