WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and
explosions and to reduce the risk of in-
jury when refueling, follow these in-
structions.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline, inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor imme-
diately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gas-
oline can seriously damage the engines.
Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance and engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 86

fuel meets minimum octane ratings. E-85 is a
fuel blend containing 85% ethanol and there-
fore must not be used in this boat. All ethanol
blends containing more than 10% ethanol can
cause fuel system damage or engine perfor-
mance problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage and engine performance
problems.

er sources of ignition.
