Never refill the fuel tank inside a
building where gasoline fumes may
reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline
away from appliance pilot lights,
barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard,
it causes environmental damage.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Fuel can damage paint and plastic.
Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling your fuel tank. Damage caused
by spilled fuel is not covered under
the Distributor's Limited Warranty

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher.
Your outboard motor is certified to
operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer
engine and spark plug deposits and
extends exhaust system life.
Never use gasoline that is stale,
contaminated, or mixed with oil.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel
tank.
You may use unleaded gasoline
containing no more than 10% ethanol
(E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In
addition, methanol must contain
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Use of fuels with content of ethanol
or methanol greater than shown
above may cause starting and/or
performance problems. It may also
damage metal, rubber, and plastic
parts of the fuel system.
