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.
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is inflammable and
explosive under certain condi-
tions. Always work in a well venti-
lated area. Do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks in the vicin-
ity. Fuel tank may be pressurized,
turn cap slowly when opening.
Never use an open flame to check
fuel level. When fueling, keep wa-
tercraft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft 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. Al-
ways turn the fuel tank valve (if so
equipped) to OFF position when
the watercraft is not in use.

Recommended Fuel

It is recommended to use a premium
unleaded gasoline with 91 octane
(Ron + Mon)/2 specification for opti-
mum performance.
As a minimum, an regular unleaded
gasoline with 87 octane (Ron + Mon)/2
may be used.
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.
