OUTBOARD INSTALLATION

FUEL DEMAND VALVE (FDV) REQUIREMENT
Whenever a pressurized fuel tank is used, a fuel demand valve
is required to be installed in the fuel hose between the fuel tank
and primer bulb. The fuel demand valve prevents pressurized
fuel from entering the engine and causing a fuel system overflow
or possible fuel spillage.
The fuel demand valve has a manual release. The manual
release can be used (pushed in) to open (bypass) the valve in
case of a fuel blockage in the valve.

FUEL TANKS
Portable Fuel Tank
Select a suitable location in the boat within the engine fuel line
length limitations and secure the tank in place.
Permanent Fuel Tank
Permanent fuel tanks should be installed in accordance with
industry and federal safety standards, which include
recommendations applicable to grounding, anti‑siphon
protection, ventilation, etc.
FILLING THE FUEL SYSTEM
When starting an engine for the first time, or starting an engine
that ran out of fuel or was drained of fuel, fill and prime the fuel
system.
To fill and prime the fuel system:
1. Squeeze the fuel line primer bulb until it feels firm.
2. Turn the key switch to the "ON" position for three seconds.
This operates the electric fuel pump.
3. Turn the key switch back to the "OFF" position and squeeze
the primer bulb again until it feels firm.
