Fuel System
Fuel System Protection
(P/N 413 408 600) (or equivalent)
should be added in the fuel tank to pre-
vent fuel deterioration and fuel system
gumming. Follow stabilizer manufac-
turers' instructions for proper use.
NOTICE
It is highly recommended
to add fuel stabilizer at storage in or-
der to maintain fuel system in good
condition. Fuel stabilizer should
be added prior to engine lubrica-
tion and fuel tank top up to ensure
fuel system components protection
against varnish deposits.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is inflammable and
explosive under certain condi-
tions. Always work in a well ven-
tilated area. Do not smoke or al-
low open flames or sparks in the
vicinity. Fuel tank may be pressur-
ized, slowly turn cap when open-
ing. When fueling, keep water-
craft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature
increases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically inspect fuel system.
NOTICE
Should any water be
trapped inside fuel tank, severe in-
ternal damage will occur to the fuel
injection system.
