TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, USE ONLY A GOOD GRADE OF GASO-
LINE FOR GASOLINE ENGINES OR DIESEL FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINES. DO NOT USE
A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY DAM-
AGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL
BLEND, IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE
MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR EN-
GINE.
To fill the fuel tanks 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. A special key to open the fuel caps is supplied.
5. Turn the key counter clockwise to open the cap.
6. Remove the cap.
7. 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 CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT
SPILL ANY FUEL. IF A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE FIBERGLASS,
USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CONTAMI-
NATED CLOTH. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.
FUEL FLOATS ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, AND CAN IGNITE. IF FUEL IS
SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE
MARINA AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS.
8. Fill the tank slightly less than the rated capacity to avoid spilling fuel out of the
vent or the fuel fill and to allow for expansion.
ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUEL IS NEEDED AND AVOID OVER FILLING THE TANK.
9. Remove the nozzle.
10 Install the fuel cap.
