AquaCraft V24 One-Design - Manual (Page 3)

• Use care to avoid touching the propeller anytime the
engine is running. Pay equally close attention to items
such as loose clothing, shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair
or anything that may become entangled in the spinning
prop. If your fingers, hands, etc. come in contact with
the spinning propeller, you may be severely injured.
• The speed and mass of this boat can inflict property damage
and severe personal injury if a collision occurs. Never run
this boat in the presence of swimmers or where the
possibility of collision with people or property exists.
• Model engines generate considerable heat. Do not touch
any part of your engine until it has cooled. Touching
the muffler, cylinder head, or exhaust header may result in
a serious burn.
• Gasoline is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into
contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store fuel in a
clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.
• Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep it away from open
flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else
that might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow anyone else
to smoke in close proximity to open fuel containers. Make
sure that fuel lines are in good condition so that fuel will
not leak onto a hot engine causing a fire.
• Never operate your engine in an enclosed space. Model
engines, like automobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon
monoxide. Run your engine only in an open area.
• Use safety glasses when starting or running engines.
The propeller may throw loose material such as sand or
gravel into your face.
If the buyer is not prepared to accept the liability associated
