WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is inflammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated ar-
ea. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fuel
tank may be pressurized, turn cap
slowly when opening. Never use
an open flame to check fuel level.
When fueling, keep watercraft lev-
el. Do not overfill or top off the fuel
tank and leave watercraft in the
sun. As temperature increases, fuel
expands and might overflow. Al-
ways wipe off any fuel spillage
from the watercraft. Periodically
verify fuel system. Always turn the
fuel tank valve (if so equipped) to
OFF position when the watercraft is
not in use.
