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 seats, and then check the
fuel level. (See page 43 for seat removal
and installation procedures.)
(4) Pull the hood latch up, and then lift up
the rear of the hood.
(5) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(6) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.(7) Stop filling when the fuel level reaches
approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the top
of the fuel tank. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Because fuel expands when it
heats up, heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank.
