EJU31917Filling the fuel tank
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do notstand 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 24 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) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight- ening it until it stops.
(9) Securely install the hood in its original position.

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.

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

The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid
traffic or obstacles which could be a
hazard to the operator on the water-
craft.
The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
To tow the watercraft:
Use a towline that is three times the com-
bined length of the towing boat and the wa-
tercraft.
(1) Securely attach the towline to the bowrope hole of the watercraft being towed.
(2) Ride the watercraft with your body weight supported on the riding tray. Hold
on to the handlebars in order to balance
the watercraft and keep the bow up out
of the water. NOTICE: The bow must be
kept up out of the water during tow-
ing, otherwise water could flood the
engine compartment or water could
flow back into the engine, causing se-
vere engine damage.
[ECJ01331]
Tow the watercraft at 8 km/h (5 mph) or less.
NOTICE: Tow the watercraft at 8 km/h (5
