Operation

Fueling

It is very important to take special precautions to avoid spillage while fueling your boat.
Gasoline vapors are heavier than air and will develop in the lower cavities of the boat,
such as the bilge.
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty completely during
operation. Doing so may damage the fuel pump. Damage from
!
running fuel systems empty is not be covered under standard
warranty.
Below is a list of guidelines you should follow when fueling your boat:
1) Extinguish all cigarettes and other flame or spark producing items.
2) Make sure all power is off, and do not operate any electrical switches.
3) Be sure to wipe off any
spillage that may have
occurred.
4) Operate the bilge blower
for a minimum of four
minutes before starting
the engine.
Do not overfill fuel tank. The fuel tank will expand and
contract based on weather conditions, and can cause fuel to
!
spill out the fuel exhaust vent. Damaged caused to your boat
from leaking fuel due to overfilling is not covered by your
warranty.
