Gasoline Safety
A WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
♦ Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
♦ Always refuel with the engine stopped and outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
♦ Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling, maintenance, or repair
work is performed or where gasoline is stored.
♦ Do not over fill the tank. (Do not fill the tank neck.)
♦ If you get gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change
clothing.
♦ Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Gasoline powered engine exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death in a short time.
♦ Shut off fuel valve (if applicable) whenever the watercraft is stored, parked, or transported.
♦ For models without fuel valve, disconnect battery ground terminal.
Fuel Filter
A WARNING
Set fuel valve to "OFF". Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke
or allow flames or sparks in the work area. Be sure the work area is well ventilated. See gasoline warning above.
Pressure may be present in the fuel tank. Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure before removing fuel
filter clamps and lines.
The fuel filter is an in-line type filter (SLX / Pro 1200 / Virage
TX / Genesis) and should be replaced annually or when
contaminated with fuel or water. The fuel filter on Genesis
FFI ™ is located in fuel tank.
After replacement turn the fuel valve "ON" to check for
leaks. Turn the fuel valve "OFF". If the filter leaks correct
the problem before operating the craft.
