SECTION 1 ILMOR MV8 OWNER'S MANUAL
1-6
A WARNING! Replacement of any part of the fuel system must be
done with Ilmor-authorized parts only. If the fuel system supplying
the MV8 engine requires attention, any adjustment or replacement,
the procedure must be done by a certified Ilmor dealer. The
fuel lines are pressurized and can only be disconnected with
specialized tools. Failure to follow this directive will void the
warranty and can result in damage to the boat and/or serious
injury or death.
A WARNING! Never operate the engine without an adequate
and uninterrupted amount of water flowing through the cooling
system. This requires the boat to be in an operational-sized body
of water or hooked up to the suction side of a raw water pump
by an Ilmor-approved water supply in a dealership. If the engine
operates without water in the cooling system, the exhaust system
will overheat and could potentially create an on-board fire. The
water pump impeller will also fail. Damage caused to the boat
under these circumstances will void the warranty and could result
in serious injury and/or death.
A WARNING! Always connect the positive (+) battery cable first.
After the positive cable is connected, then the negative (-) battery
cable can be attached. This minimizes the possibility of electrical
contact.
A WARNING! Always disconnect the negative battery cable (-)
first before disconnecting the positive battery cable (+). After the
negative battery cable is disconnected, the positive battery cable
can be disconnected. This minimizes the possibility of electrical
contact.
A WARNING! Never realign the wiring or in any way alter the
wiring of the MV8 engine. Doing so may result in damage to the
engine, which is not covered under warranty, and sufficient voltage
may be present to cause serious injury and/or death.
A WARNING! Always inspect the entire fuel system for leaks and/
or deterioration prior to each outing. This inspection becomes
even more critical after substantial periods of nonuse or storage.
Be certain the inspection includes the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel
pump, regulator, fuel rails, carbon canisters and all fittings in the
system. Never operate the engine when any component shows
even slight signs of corrosion, leakage, deterioration, swelling,
hardening or softening. This must be brought to the attention of a
certified Ilmor and/or boat manufacturer's dealer for replacement
prior to using the boat.
A WARNING! Never allow battery electrolyte to be spilled or
placed on any part of the human body. Battery electrolyte fluid is
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive
and caustic. If exposed to battery electrolyte, flush the area with
large amounts of clean water and immediately seek medical
attention.
