LIQUIDS

CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the engine's life
and/or performance.

Fueling Procedure

WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling
instructions explicitly.
Turn off engine.
Do not allow anyone to remain on the
watercraft.
Tie watercraft securely to the fueling
pier.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not insert the spout too far in filler
neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape
from the tank and prevent fuel flow-
back. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Stop filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill into the
filler tube to prevent fuel spill out. Do
not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Fuel tank may be pressurized, turn
cap slowly when opening. Never
use an open flame to check fuel
level. When fueling, keep water-
craft level. Do not overfill or top off
the fuel tank and leave watercraft
in the sun. As temperature in-
creases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically verify fuel system.

Recommended Fuel

Use unleaded regular gasoline with 87
octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use
fuel containing more than 10% alco-
hol, (ethanol or methanol). The use
of non-recommended fuel can result
in watercraft performance deterio-
ration and damage to critical parts in
the fuel system and engine compo-
nents.

gine that requires 4-stroke motor oil for
internal engine lubrication. Ensure to
respect the following requirements.

and refill if necessary. Do not overfill
it would make the engine smoke and
