WARNING!
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Always stop the engine and do
not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat when refuelling. When filling the fuel tanks, ground
the tanks to the source of fuel by holding the hose nozzle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate or
ground it in some other manner. This action prevents static electricity buildup which could cause sparks
and ignite fuel vapors. Fuel leakage can cause fire and/or explosion.
