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. Fu-
el 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 water-
craft in the sun. As temperature
increases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically verify fuel system.

9) Engine Cover Latch

CAUTION:
er should be done only when the
watercraft is out of the water. Re-
moving engine cover while on wa-
ter might allow water to enter and
to fill the bilge. If you need to reach
the storage area or the fire extin-
guisher while on water, first turn off
engine. Ensure to be on calm water
and adopt a stable stance. Partial-
ly open engine cover just enough to
reach the storage area. Close and
relatch engine cover as quickly as
possible.
Removing the engine cover gives ac-
cess to the fire extinguisher storage

gine compartment.
First, stop the engine then raise and
stabilize the steering pole at its highest
position.
Pull the latch lever upward to unlock
the engine cover.
