Note: Chaparral Boats recommends that you use a funnel when you
add oil to prevent spillage and to help keep your engine free of sur-
face grime and dirt.
Important: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the
discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable waters of
the United States or the waters of the contiguous zone if such dis-
charge causes a fi lm or sheen upon or a discoloration of the surface
of the water or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of
the water. Violators are subject to a penalty.
