FUELING RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING:
Do not use any fuel that contains alcohol or alcohol derivatives.
Alcohol destroys marine fuel system hoses and components
that could result in leaks, fire and explosion.
Before fueling check the following:
• Safely secure your boat if it is in the water.
• Do not smoke and extinguish all open flames. Stop the engine and
turn off all electrical accessories.
• Have a fire extinguisher available.
• Remove portable tanks from boat when filling them.
• Use only recommended fuel lubricants.
Fueling
• Remove the fuel fill plate.
• Begin fueling the boat slowly and stand away from the fuel tank vent
and fill plate during fueling as splash back may occur.
• Do not fill tank completely to the top. You should allow room for the
fuel to expand, otherwise it will be ejected out the vent fitting.
• When done fueling, replace the fill cap and wipe up any spilled fuel. If
the fuel is allowed to remain in contact with the boat it may cause
damage to the paint or carpet.
• Check for leaks when tank is full.
• Do not start engine until all fuel vapors have dissipated.
