2: Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite resulting in fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all
sparks and flames well away from the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system. (Page 17-7)
3: Gasoline is explosive. If you see or smell the presence of gasoline during your inspection, DO NOT
START YOUR ENGINE! Remove your ignition key from the ignition switch and call your MasterCraft
dealer for service. (Page 19-8)
4: Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and
never smoke or allow open flames or sparks within 50 feet of the fueling area when refueling. (Page 8-2)
5: Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled accidentally, wipe up all traces of it with dry rags
immediately and properly on shore. (Page 8-2)
6: Failure to operate the blower as instructed could cause improper ventilation of the boat engine and
bilge areas. Fuel vapors can accumulate in this area and cause a fire or explosion which may result in
serious injury or death! (Page 7-3)
7: To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine
and always when at idle or slow-running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery fumes may be present in
the engine compartment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death! (Page 11-1)
8: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can
cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes.
Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects of
expsoure to carbon monoxide are cumulative and can be just as lethal as at high concentrations.
Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard engines may build up inside and outside
the boat in areas near exhaust vents. S TAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are loacted at
the stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any watersports or other activties in or near the
stern area of the boat, including, without limitation, the swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the
engine is in operation. Under no circumstances should “teak surfing” or similar activities be performed
during the operation of your MasterCraft boat–such activities are a misuse of this product. (Page 24-1)
9: The safety switch lanyard must be attached to the operator whenever the engine is started. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death. (Page 7-3)
10: Never override or modify the engine safety shut-off switch or engine neutral starting safety switch in any
way. (Page 1-3)
11: Before starting the engine, open the engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes, fuel and oil leaks
or the presence of fuel or oil in the bilge. (Page 11-1)
1: DO NOT launch or operate the boat if any problem is found during the Safety Check. A problem could
lead to an accident during the outing, resulting in serious injury or death. Any and all problems should
receive attention immediately. See your MasterCraft dealer for assistance. (Page 9-1)
