Step 1
Ensure the engines are OFF, the engine safety starting switch is
disconnected and the throttle/shift control levers are in neutral.
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors may ignite, resulting in
fire or explosion. Be sure to keep all sparks and flames away from
the area while inspecting the boat’s fuel system.
Step 2
Open the engine compartment or floor hatch (where equipped)
and visually check as much of the fuel system from the tank
the cables in the proper order, with the positive cable connected
to the positive [+] post and the negative cable connected to the
negative [-] post.
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous
hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, flames
and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions
when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an
explosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.
Aviara recommends the use of a spiral-cell type battery, such
as the Optima brand. These batteries exceed other batteries in
holding and extending a charge.
Inspect The Fuel
System For Leaks
This function should be performed prior to starting the engines;
and then again after about three (3)-to-five (5) minutes to
determine whether any leaks are apparent.
