SAFETY
A WARNING! Always keep all sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from the battery charging area. When charging,
batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas
which is highly explosive. Failure to follow instructions when
charging a battery can cause an electrical charge or even an
explosion of the battery. This could result in serious injury or
death.
A WARNING! Always follow the boat manufacturer's instructions
on how to properly winterize the fuel tank prior to storage. Leaking
of fuel into the boat and potentially into the storage area could
result in substantial damage to the boat, and contact with any
spark (such as a flame-producing pilot light in a heater) could also
result in property damage and serious injury or death.
A WARNING! Always replace parts of the fuel system with Ilmor-
authorized parts only. All fuel system lines and connections must
meet the requirements of U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) regulations.
This means that hoses must meet or exceed SAE Standard J1527
DEC85, and hoses used for fuel delivery must meet or exceed
specification in USCG regulations, Sec. 183.540 for recreational
boating. Additionally, all fuel hose must meet the 15 g/m limit for
2
fuel permeation. All plumbing for the fuel system on Ilmor engines,
and the boats in which Ilmor authorizes placement, meet or exceed
all requirements.
A WARNING! Always allow the engine to cool down completely
before attempting to service the fuel/water separator filter in order
to avoid fire or explosion. The fuel system is under pressure.
A WARNING! Always be sure that the ignition key is in the OFF
position, the main battery power switch is in the OFF position, and
that no spark or flame are present when servicing the fuel/water
separator.
A WARNING! Always make sure that no fuel leaks exist and that
the engine compartment is well ventilated with no gasoline vapors
present to avoid fire or explosion hazard before performing any
fuel system maintenance.
A WARNING! Always allow the engine to cool down completely
before attempting to service the high-pressure fuel filter in order to
avoid fire or explosion.
A WARNING! Always be sure that the ignition key is in the OFF
position, the main battery power switch is in the OFF position,
and that no spark or flame are present when servicing the high-
pressure fuel filter.
A WARNING! Always use the special tools to replace the high-
pressure fuel filter. Do not attempt to replace fuel filter without
special tools. Doing so may damage fuel line or filter. A damaged
fuel line or filter may leak and cause a fire or explosion.
