3 L510023-07 GENERAL INFORMATION Notice to Installer Throughout this manual, “Warnings” and “Cautions” (accompanied by the International Hazard Symbol) are used to alert the installer to special instructions concerning a particular service or operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully! These “Safety Alerts” alone cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict compliance to these special instructions when performing the service, plus “common- sense” operation, are major accident prevention measures. WARNING Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in severe personal injury or death. CAUTION Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or product or property damage. IMPORTANT: Indicates information or instructions that are necessary for proper installation and/or operation. Experience gained over the past several years has shown that marine engines fitted with electronic fuel injection (EFI) require carefully integrated fuel delivery systems. More specifically, the fuel tank, fuel supply and return lines, fuel filters and all their associated valves and fittings must be considered an integral part of any fuel injection engine package. This may require changes in both fuel system components and/or layout to assure compatibility and 100% customer satisfaction with the latest EFI engines. Any new or re-power application involving the replacement of a non-EFI engine with an EFI engine may require a new or modified fuel delivery system, from the tank to the engine, for proper operation. This installation manual has been published by Crusader Engines to aid installers when installing the products described herein. It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with the installation procedures of similar products manufactured and marketed by Crusader Engines. That they have been trained in the recommended installation procedures of these products which includes the use of mechanics’ common hand tools and any recommended tools from other manufacturers. We could not possibly know of and advise the marine trade of all conceivable procedures by which an installation might be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results of each method. We have not undertaken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses an installation procedure and/or tool, which is not recommended by the manufacturer, first must completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the product’s safety will be endangered by the installation procedure selected. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication.

Transmission output shaft rotation is indicated on a decal on the transmission case. IMPORTANT: Use of proper rotation propeller, indicated by the output flange rotation decal, is critical as operating the transmission in Reverse to move the boat forward WILL CAUSE transmission failure. The transmission MUST BE operated in forward gear only to propel the boat forward.
