Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags. Always properly dispose of
gasoline-soaked rags.

Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill-
ing when the fuel level just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up
the filler tube because fuel expands as
it warms up and could overflow. If tem-
porarily leaving the watercraft with a
full fuel tank, do not leave it in direct
sunlight. Leave it in a well-ventilated
area with the watercraft in a horizontal
position.

Tighten the filler cap securely after
refueling.

If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
gasoline in your eyes, get immediate
medical attention.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin,
immediately wash with soap and
water. Change clothing if gasoline
spills on it.

Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and
add 470 ml (15.9 US oz, 16.5 Imp oz) of
Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner.
CAUTION:Use only Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and
Conditioner. Using another stabilizer can
damage the catalytic converter.

Recommended fuel stabilizer:
Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and
Conditioner
