Section 8

Care and Maintenance

This section describes how to care and maintain your Nautique
boat. Periodic inspection and maintenance of items listed in this
section is absolutely necessary. 
Winterization and some engine maintenance functions are best
performed by your Nautique dealer. Some maintenance items that
can be done by you or your dealer are listed below. We suggest that
you familiarize yourself with these even if you have your dealer
service your boat.

General Maintenance

1.  Read engine operator and maintenance manual very carefully.
2.  Check for fuel line leaks every time you use the boat.
3.  DO NOT start your engine if gasoline odor is present. Gasoline

fumes are highly explosive. Before starting your engine, open
the engine cover, inspect the engine compartment for gasoline
fumes and operate the blower for at least four minutes. Run
your blower when operating at slow speeds. If fuel vapors are
present, do not start the engine. Check all hoses and fittings to
determine the source of the vapor. Make the necessary
adjustments or take the boat to your local dealer to eliminate
the fuel vapor.

Fumes accumulating in bilge area present

a fire or explosion hazard which could cause death or
severe injury. Ventilate the engine compartment by
running the blower for four minutes, especially after
repairing or refueling and check for fuel spills or leaks.
If you smell gasoline vapor or see liquid gasoline, DO
NOT start the engine.
