OS 335

DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVES FROM THE SYSTEM. SHOULD AN ANTI-

SIPHON VALVE BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE. IF A FUEL

LINE SHOULD LEAK, ANTI-SIPHON VALVES PREVENT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF

FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE BILGE. ANTI-SIPHON VALVES ARE REQUIRED, BY

THE U.S. COAST GUARD, TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL BOATS EQUIPPED WITH GASO-

LINE ENGINES.

GASOLINE FUEL FILTER

Fuel filters are installed in the transom area of the boat. The

filters are the water separator type and there is one filter for

each engine fuel line. Each fuel filter should be checked for

water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel

to the engines. It is recommended that the filters are inspected

periodically and the elements changed once a season.

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE

OR EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRICAL SWITCHES ARE IN THE "OFF" POSI-

TION BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.

DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL IN THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLO-

SION. CHECK ALL FUEL LINE FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING

THE ENGINES FOLLOWING ANY FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE.

3.3 Generator Fuel System (Optional)

The gasoline powered generator is supplied through the starboard tank. Access to the fuel valve is through

the deck plate below the port side aft facing seat. The valve is off when the handle is perpendicular to the

fuel flow. An anti-siphon valve near the withdrawal tube prevents gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel

tank should a line rupture. The gasoline withdrawal is equipped with an "ON/OFF" valve located on the top

of the fuel tank. This withdrawal tube is slightly higher in the tank than the engine withdrawal tube to ensure

that a reserve of gasoline is maintained for the main engine. If the generator is allowed to run out of fuel,

air may be introduced in the fuel system and will need to be removed by an authorized dealer.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE GENERATOR, THE FUEL VALVE MUST BE IN

THE "ON" POSITION.

A water separator type fuel filter is installed near the generator. The fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should

be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. The filter should

be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.
