WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
A no-spill vent system is used so that fuel will not spill out of the
vents when filling; however, fuel will exit the fuel fill pipe if overfilling
occurs. When filling the fuel tanks listen carefully for fuel filling up in
the fill pipe.
Be careful not to spill any fuel outside the boat into the water. If you
do, clean up the fuel immediately in the manner prescribed by your
local regulations.
