Mercury Marine 899194001 ユーザーズマニュアル

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The boat could move suddenly in a new direction. Such a

sharp change in direction can cause occupants to be thrown

out of their seats or out of the boat.

• A rapid reduction in speed. This will cause occupants to be

thrown forward, or even out of the boat.

• Impact damage to the outboard and/or boat.

Keep in mind, the most important thing you can do to help reduce

injury or impact damage during an impact is control the boat speed.

Boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing speed when

driving in waters known to have underwater obstacles.
After striking a submerged object, stop the engine as soon as

possible and inspect it for any broken or loose parts. If damage is

present or suspected, the outboard should be taken to an

authorized dealer for a thorough inspection and necessary repair.
The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures, transom

fractures, or water leaks.
Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to

other parts of the outboard, or could affect control of the boat. If

continued running is necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control. Continued

boating with major impact damage can result in sudden

component failure with or without subsequent impacts. Have the

power package thoroughly inspected and any necessary repairs

made.

Exhaust Emissions

BE ALERT TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide is present in the exhaust fumes of all internal

combustion engines. This includes the outboards, sterndrives and

inboard engines that propel boats, as well as the generators that

power various boat accessories. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas

that is odorless, colorless and tasteless.
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning which should not

be confused with seasickness or intoxication, include headache,

dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
