any accessory ground wires to the starter mounting bolts. Doing so can
cause a loose bolt situation over time that will cause starter failure or a
possible damaged engine block.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE
Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that cannot be
smelled, seen or tasted. Over exposure to carbon monoxide gas may lead to
brain damage, unconsciousness or even death.
Carbon Monoxide is a hazardous gas that is produced when items containing
carbon are burned. Items such as wood, charcoal, gasoline, natural gas, propane,
and petroleum products such as oil. Carbon Monoxide is found in many areas and
is produced by all types of internal combustion engines, heaters, charcoal grills,
and any other open flame appliances. There are many possible situations for the
accumulation of carbon monoxide to occur in your vessel. Wind direction, boat
speed, and being close to other vessels are just a few of the possible ways that
would permit exposure to carbon monoxide gases. It is important that regular
inspections of the exhaust system and the engine’s fresh air vents are clean and
free of obstructions. Check that all maintenance is properly performed by a
qualified technician. Adequate air ventilation in all areas of your boat is necessary
in order to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide gas.
