Refuel With Care

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel
outdoors, in a well-ventilaed area, with the engine stopped. Never smoke
near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.
l
Remove any portable fuel tank from the boat for refueling. Keep the portable
fuel tank away from the battery or other potential spark sources.
l
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
l
After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.

haust gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.
