SAFETY NOTICE The anode of the Sail-Drive is only calculated for the Sail-Drive. Changing the material of the propeller may require additional anodes to be installed on the sail- drive. These notices describe a situation which, if not avoided, can cause damage to the Sail-Drive, personal property and / or the environment or cause equipment to operate improperly. Failure to use the correct anode material may result in inadequate protection and excessive corrosion of underwater drive system components. Use only zinc or aluminum anodes in brackish and saltwater applications. In freshwater applications, use aluminum or magnesium anodes for best results.
NEVER use magnesium anodes in brackish or salt water, as they will deteriorate rapidly, which will lead to severe damage to the drive system. It is important to perform daily checks as listed in this Operation Manual . Periodic maintenance prevents unexpected downtime, reduces the number of accidents due to poor Sail-Drive performance and can help extend the life of the Sail-Drive and engine. ALWAYS be environmentally responsible. Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other governmental agencies for the proper disposal of hazardous materials such as lubrication oil, diesel fuel and engine coolant. Consult the local authorities or reclamation facility.
NEVER dispose of hazardous materials by dumping them into a sewer, on the ground or into ground water or waterways. NEVER attempt to modify the Sail-Drive’s design or safety features. NEVER release or modify the limiting devices such as the engine speed limit, fuel injection limit, etc. Modification will impair the safety and performance of the product and shorten product life. Modifications to the design, safety or limiting features will void the warranty. If the Sail-Drive oil temperature is too high, stop engine immediately and check the Sail- Drive oil level and check the oil cooler for proper coolant and water flow.
