SAFETY INFORMATION
Before
working
on any part
of
the outboard, read the SAFETY
section
at the end
of
this
manual.
This manual
is
written for qualified, factory-trained
technicians who are already
familiar with the use
of Bombardier Special Tools. This manual
is
not a
substitute for work experience.
It
is
an
organized
guide for reference, repair, and maintenance of
the outboard(s).
This manual uses the
following signal words iden-
tifying important safety messages.
~
DANGER
~
Indicates an imminently hazardous situa-
tion
which,
if
not
avoided, WILL result in
death
or
serious
injury.
~
WARNING
~
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which,
if
not
avoided, CAN result in severe
injury
or
death.
6 CAUTION
~
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which,
if
not
avoided,
MAY
result in
minor
or
moderate personal
injury
or
property
damage.
It also may be used
to
alert
against
unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT: Identifies information that will help
prevent damage
to
machinery and appears next
to information that controls correct assembly and
operation of the product.
These safety alert signal words mean:
ATTENTION!
BECOME
ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY
IS
INVOLVED!
Always follow common shop safety practices. If
you have not had training related to common shop
safety practices, you should do so to protect your-
self, as
well as the people around you.
It
is
understood that this manual may be trans-
lated into other languages.
In
the event of any dis-
crepancy, the English version
shall prevail.
To
reduce the risk of personal injury, a safety
review
is
provided at the beginning of each sec-
tion.
DO
NOT do any repairs until you have read the
instructions and checked the pictures relating to
the repairs.
Be careful, and never rush or guess a service pro-
cedure. Human error
is
caused by many factors:
carelessness, fatigue, overload, preoccupation,
unfamiliarity with the product, and drugs and alco-
hol use, to name a few. Damage to a boat and
outboard can be fixed
in
a short period of time, but
injury or death has a lasting effect.
When replacement parts are required, use
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including type, strength
and material. Using substandard parts could result
in
injury or product malfunction.
Torque wrench tightening specifications must be
strictly
followed. Replace any locking fastener
(locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature
becomes weak. Definite resistance to turning
must be felt when reusing a locking fastener.
If
replacement
is
specified or required because the
locking fastener has become weak, use only
authorized Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts.
If you use procedures or service tools that are not
recommended
in
this manual, YOU ALONE must
decide if your actions might injure people or dam-
age the outboard.
