LEHR 15 HP 4-STROKE - Manual (Page 2)

WARNING:
PROPANE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, AND ITS
VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF IGNITED.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PROPANE UNITS
NOTE: Use propane only in tanks specifically designed
and approved for this unit. Propane is a combustible
gas, it is colorless and thus invisible to the naked eye.
Propane has a harmless odorant added so that it is
possible to smell it. The user should be familiar with the
smell of propane (smells like sulfur or rotten eggs). If at
any time the smell of propane is identified, turn off the
engine. If the leak persists, remove the propane tank.
Never attempt to operate a unit that has a suspected
leak. Always remove the propane tank from any unit
that has a suspected leak.
Leakage of liquid propane can cause serious frostbite
damage to skin. If you see liquid propane leaking, do not
attempt to touch the area. Turn off the valve on the tank
and let the leak dissipate.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Burning propane makes Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is
invisible, has no smell and can kill you. Operating your
outboard engine in an enclosed area can be dangerous.
1. Use only in well ventilated areas. If you experience
headache, drowsiness, or nausea, turn unit off and
get fresh air quickly.
2. Never use where people are
sleeping.
3. Follow unit instructions for proper use.

UNDERSTANDING PROPANE
NOTE: FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Propane tanks contain enough gas to cause serious fire,
explosion, and burns. To reduce chance of leak, fire, or
explosion, take the following precautions:
BEFORE USE

or missing seals. Clean tank if dirt or rust particles are
in valve area.

sparks or other ignition sources. These sources can
ignite leaking gas.

Look for bubbles. Listen for hiss of escaping gas. Feel
for extreme cold. Smell for rotten egg odor. Do not
use if leaking.
5. Read and follow operation instructions.
DURING USE
Never use near pilot lights, flames, sparks, or other
ignition sources. They can ignite leaking gas.
AFTER USE

2. Detach tank when not in use.
3. Detach outdoors away from pilot lights, flames, sparks,
or other ignition sources, they can ignite leaking gas.
