FUEL & OIL
Oil Recommendation
Use Mercury Hi-Performance Synthetic Blend 2-Cycle Oil.
Emergency Use Only: If the Hi-Performance 2-Cycle Oil is not avail-
able, Quicksilver NMMA Certified Premium TC-W3 or Premium Plus
TC-W3 2-Cycle Oil may be substituted. These oils should not be
used on a regular basis.
Periodically consult with your dealer to get the latest gasoline and oil
recommendations. If Quicksilver 2-Cycle Outboard Oil is not avail-
able, substitute a 2-Cycle outboard manufacturers oil that is NMMA
Certified TC-W3, or another brand of 2-Cycle outboard oil that is
NMMA Certified TC-W3. The use of an inferior 2-Cycle outboard oil
can reduce engine durability. Damage from use of inferior oil may
not be covered under the limited warranty.

Filling Fuel Tank
WARNING
!
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion.
Always stop the engine and DO NOT smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks.
Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
Do not overfill the fuel tanks. Fuel will expand in volume as its temper-
ature rises and can leak under pressure.
