X OIL AND FUEL
Remove the engine cover to access the oil FUEL REQUIREMENTS
tank.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. Follow the instructions in this
section explicitly. Improper handling of
fuel could result in property damage,
serious injury or death.
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion haz-
ard. All parts in the fuel system should
be inspected frequently and replaced if
signs of deterioration or leakage are
found. Inspect the fuel system each
time you refuel, each time you remove
the engine cover and annually.
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with the
recommended outboard lubricant, as speci-
fied in Oil Requirements on page 14.
Follow these instructions to ensure
safety when handing fuel:
•
•
•
Always turn off the engine before fuel-
ing.
Never permit anyone other than an
adult to refill the fuel tank.
Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to
the top or fuel may overflow when it
expands due to heating by the sun.
Remove portable fuel tanks from the
boat before fueling.
•
•
•
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
Do not smoke, or allow open flames,
or sparks or use electrical devices
such as cellular phones in the vicinity
of a fuel leak or while fueling.
Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
Reinstall the engine cover.
•
Always work in a well ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: Always use fresh gasoline.
Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of oc-
tane, volatile compounds, and the production
of gum and varnish deposits which can de-
grade the fuel system.
IMPORTANT: The oil tank capacity is 2.0
quarts (1.9 liters).
