WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is inflammable and
explosive under certain condi-
tions. Always work in a well venti-
lated area. Do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks in the vicin-
ity. Fuel tank may be pressurized,
turn cap slowly when opening.
Never use an open flame to check
fuel level. When fueling, keep wa-
tercraft level. Do not overfill or top
off the fuel tank and leave water-
craft in the sun. As temperature in-
creases, fuel expands and might
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the watercraft. Peri-
odically verify fuel system. Al-
ways turn the fuel tank valve (if so
equipped) to OFF position when
the watercraft is not in use.
