SAFETY WARNING CAUTION Exposure Hazard ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment including appropriate clothing, gloves, work shoes, eye and hearing protection as required by the task at hand. The safety messages that follow have CAUTION level hazards. These safety messages describe a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor to moderate injury. Ensure that the work area is adequately illuminated. ALWAYS install wire cages on portable safety lamps. Poor Lighting Hazard Entanglement Hazard NEVER leave the key in the key switch when you are servicing the Sail-Drive. Someone may accidentally start the engine and not realize you are servicing it.
ALWAYS use tools appropriate for the task at hand and use the correct size tool for loosening or tightening machine parts. Tool Hazard NEVER operate the engine while wearing a headset to listen to music or radio because it will be difficult to hear the warning signals. ALWAYS wear eye protection when servicing the Sail-Drive or when using compressed air or high-pressure water. Dust, flying debris, compressed air, pressurized water or steam may injure your eyes. Exposure Hazard Burn Hazard Some of the engine and Sail- Drive surfaces become very hot during operation and shortly after shut-down. Keep hands and other body parts away from hot surfaces.
Sudden Movement Hazard ALWAYS stop the engine before beginning service. Exhaust Hazard NEVER block windows, vents, or other means of ventilation if the engine is operating in an enclosed area. All internal combustion engines create carbon monoxide gas during operation and special precautions are required to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. 6 SD Operation Manual © 2009 Yanmar Marine International
