WARNING@ GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!

Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.

Stop engine before refueling.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with
the watercraft in a horizontal position.

Do not stand or sit on the watercraft
while refueling in case of fire.

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 reaches approx-
imately 50 mm (2 in) from the top of the
fuel tank. Fuel expands as it warms up
and could overflow if the fuel tank has
been overfilled. If temporarily leaving
the watercraft with a full fuel tank, do
not leave it in direct sunlight. Leave it
in a well-ventilated area with the water-
craft 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.
@
Top off the fuel tank with fresh gasoline
and add fuel stabilizer and conditioner to the
fuel tank by following the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
