5.4 Fueling Instructions

FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING THE

FUEL TANK. NO SMOKING. NEVER FILL THE TANK WHILE AN

ENGINE IS RUNNING. FILL THE FUEL TANK IN AN OPEN AREA.

DO NOT FILL THE TANKS NEAR OPEN FLAMES.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, USE ONLY

A GOOD GRADE OF GASOLINE FOR GASOLINE ENGINES.

DO NOT USE FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES

OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND OF HIGHER CONCENTRATION

THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER.

ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE

RESULT OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL BLEND IS NOT COVERED

BY THE EVERGLADES WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE

MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL

REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINES.

DO NOT CONFUSE THE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE

WATER OR WASTE PUMP OUT DECK PLATE. THESE PLATES

ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL

IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK,

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND

WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE

OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER

OR THE EVERGLADES CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT

FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY

REMOVED.

To fill the fuel tank at a marina, follow

this procedure:

1. Make sure all switches are in the OFF position.

2. Make sure the boat is securely moored.

3. Make sure all passengers leave the boat.

4. Estimate how much fuel is needed and avoid

over filling the tank.

Notice:

When the fuel tank is overfilled, fuel will

come out through the fuel vent. The fuel

vent is located on the stbd side of the hull.

5. A special key to open the fuel cap is supplied.

6. Turn the key counter clockwise to open the

cap.

7. Remove the cap.

8. Put the nozzle in the fuel opening.

STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN BE GENERATED WHILE FUELING

AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO PREVENT STATIC

SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE TANK, MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE

IS IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL OPENING.

SPILLED FUEL IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS

OR IGNITE. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL

IS SPILLED ON THE DECK, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL

AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH ON SHORE. IF FUEL

IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.

FUEL FLOATS ON TOP OF THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE. IF

EXCESS FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY

EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE

PROPER OFFICIALS.

9. Fill the fuel tank slightly less than the rated

capacity to allow for expansion to avoid spilling

fuel out of the vents and fuel fill.

10. Remove the nozzle.

11. Install and tighten the fuel cap. Be careful not

to overtighten the cap.

12. Check the fuel compartment and below the

deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel, do not

start the engines.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT

START THE ENGINES WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL

FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.

MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED

IMMEDIATELY.
