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 CAU-
TION. 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 tanks slightly less than the rated capacity to allow for expansion and
to avoid spilling fuel out of the vents and fuel fills.
Note: The diesel fuel tank for the optional generator is small in capacity and will fill
quickly. You should be particularly alert while filling this tank.
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 engine.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE
ENGINE(S) WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS
AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.
