SPILLED FUEL IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS OR IGNITE. MAKE SURE

YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE DECK, USE A CLOTH TO

REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH. IF FUEL IS SPILLED

ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION. FUEL FLOATS ON TOP OF THE WA-

TER AND CAN IGNITE. IF EXCESS FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY

EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS.

9. Fill the fuel tank to near full. Allow just enough room for the fuel to expand

without leaking out the vent.

10. Remove the nozzle.

11. Install and tighten the fuel cap. Be careful not to overtighten the cap.

12. Check the fuel compartment and below the deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel,

do not start the engine.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINE

WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO

YOUR HEALTH.

MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

3.4 Fuel System Maintenance

Periodically inspect all connections, clamps and hoses for leakage and damage or deterioration.

Replace as necessary. Spray the valves, fuel gauges and ground connections with a metal protector.

Frequently inspect and lubricate the fuel fill cap O-ring seal with petroleum jelly. The O-ring seal

prevents water from entering the fuel system through the fuel fill cap and it should be replaced

immediately if there is any sign of damage or deterioration.

Periodically, remove the cover from the fuel vent and clean the vent of any debris. Be sure the cover

is replaced securely after cleaning. The cover helps prevent water and other foreign matter from

contaminating the fuel and fuel system. If a vent cover is damaged or lost it should be replaced as

soon as possible.

Contaminated fuel may cause serious damage to your engine. The filter must be checked for water

and other contamination frequently. The filter element must be changed at least once a season or

3-5
