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.
Figure 3-5. Fueling
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, which may cause
fire/explosion to occur. Damaged caused to your boat from
leaking fuel due to overfilling is not covered by your warranty.

First Start-Up of the Day
On the first start-up of the day, you may find it beneficial to “key up” once or twice to
prime the fuel system prior to cranking the engine to start. The fuel system pressure will
drop after a few hours of non-use. To prevent long crank times when starting for the first
time, turn the key ON once to prime the fuel system.
This is a “High Pressure” fuel system. If you ever smell a strong fuel odor, shut down
immediately and inspect for leaks.
The PIT fuel system is not to be serviced by anyone other
than an Axis Factory Trained and Certified Technician. Special
tools and training are required to service this fuel system.
