EJU31915Filling the fuel tank
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do not
stand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity of
sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated
area and in a horizontal position.
(3) Remove the hood, and then check the
fuel level. (See page 22 for hood removal
and installation procedures.)
(4) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(5) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.(6) Stop filling when the fuel level just reach-
es the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill
up the filler tube. Because fuel expands
when it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank. Do not leave the watercraft with
a full tank in direct sunlight.
(7) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with
a dry cloth.
(8) Install the fuel filler cap and tighten it se-
curely.
(9) Install the hood in its original position.

eration checklist while the watercraft is on
land.
To perform the pre-launch checks:
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 22 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)
(2) Perform the checks and make sure that
there are no malfunctioning items or oth-

EJU32333Engine compartment check
WARNING
EWJ00461
Failure to ventilate the engine compart-
ment could result in a fire or explosion. Do
not start the engine if there is a fuel leak.
Ventilate the engine compartment. Leave the
engine compartment open for a few minutes
to allow any fuel vapors to escape.
Make sure that there is no damage inside the
engine compartment.
EJU34206Fuel system checks
WARNING
EWJ00381
Leaking fuel can result in fire or explosion.
Check for fuel leakage regularly.
If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel sys-
tem must be repaired by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper repairs can make the
watercraft unsafe to operate.
Make sure that there is no damage, leakage,
or other problem in the fuel system.
Check:
Carburetor for leakage
Fuel filler cap and seal for damage
Fuel in fuel tank for water and dirt
Fuel tank for damage and leakage
Fuel hoses and joints for damage and leak-
age
Fuel filter for leakage
Fuel cock for leakage
Fuel tank breather hose for damage and
leakage
Releasing the pressure in the fuel tank
Release the pressure in the fuel tank before
each use.
To release the pressure in the fuel tank:
(1) Loosen the fuel filler cap slowly and re-
move it to release any pressure in the fuel
tank.
(2) Install the fuel filler cap and tighten it se-
curely.
