FUEL AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the
instructions of this section. Failure
to do so may reduce the life and/or
performance of the engines.
Fueling Procedure
Turn off engines.
Do not allow anyone to remain on the
sport boat.
Tie sport boat securely to the fueling
pier.
Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
Do not insert the spout too far into filler
neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape
from the tank and prevent fuel flow-
back. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Stop filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of filler neck. Do not fill into the
filler tube to prevent fuel spillage.
Do
not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded regular gasoline with 87
octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use
fuel containing more than 10% alco-
hol, (ethanol or methanol). The use
of non-recommended fuel can result
in
sport boat performance deterio-
ration and damage to critical parts in
the fuel system and engine compo-
nents.
Engine Oil
Recommended Oil
This sport boat features two, 4-stroke
engines that require 4-stroke motor oil
for internal engine lubrication. Ensure
to respect the following requirements.
Use 4-stroke engine oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API ser-
vice classification SG, SH or SJ. Al-
ways check the API service label on
the oil container to be sure it includes
those letters. Only use high-quality
high-detergent oil.
CAUTION: Never use any two-stroke
engine oil.
Oil Viscosity
SAE 10W40 is recommended for all sea-
sons.
Oil Level
CAUTION: Check level frequently
and refill if necessary. Do not overfill
as it would make the engine smoke
and reduce its power. Operating the
engines with an improper level may
severely damage engines. Wipe off
any spillage.

WARNING
Follow these safe boating fueling
instructions explicitly.

WARNING
Always stop the engines before
refueling. Fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain condi-
tions. Always work in a well venti-
lated area. Do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks in the vicin-
ity. Fuel tank may be pressurized,
turn cap slowly when opening.
Never use an open flame to check
fuel level. When fueling, keep boat
level. Do not overfill or top off the
fuel tank and leave boat in the sun.
As temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and might overflow. Al-
ways remove any fuel spillage
from the boat. Periodically check
fuel system for leaks.
