GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
Before Servicing
CAUTION
Turn the capsized boat clockwise so that the port side always faces downward. Turning
counterclockwise can cause water in the exhaust system to run into the engine, with pos-
sible engine damage.
Battery Ground
Before completing any service on the watercraft, discon-
nect the battery wires from the battery to prevent the engine
from accidentally turning over. Disconnect the ground wire
(–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the
service, first connect the positive (+) wire to the positive (+)
terminal of the battery then the negative (–) wire to the neg-
ative terminal.
Edges of Parts
Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury
from possible sharp edges on the parts.
Solvent
Use a high flush point solvent when cleaning parts. High
flush point solvent should be used according to directions
of the solvent manufacturer.
