The following instructions are very important:
• Raise the engine hatch all the way up. Check to see if all the
engine drain plugs are in place. Make sure the hull drain
plug (T-handle) in the bilge area is installed.
• Look at all the hoses to make sure they are installed and the
hose clamps are tight. Close the engine hatch and turn on
the engine compartment blower. Run the blower at least
four minutes to remove fuel vapors that might be in the
bilge area and engine compartment before starting engine.
Remember, if you have detected the presence of fuel vapors,
do not start the engine until the source has been
determined, problems corrected and vapors removed.
• Check all gasoline line connections. Connections are located
at the fuel tank, the fuel control cell and the fuel injection
system. All Nautique boats are equipped with anti-siphon
valves on the outlet fittings of the fuel tanks to reduce the
chance of fuel siphoning from the fuel tank if a fuel hose
leaks or is severed.
• Fill the fuel tank and check for leaks. Check again for leaks
after the engine has run for a few minutes.
