FILLING THE FUEL TANK

To fill the fuel tank:
1. Always stop the engine before refilling the

tank.

2. Remove the portable fuel tank from the boat

to refill it.

NOTICE

Gasoline kept in the fuel tank for long
periods of time will produce varnish and
gum, which can damage the engine.

Always use fresh gasoline.

 WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and
toxic. It can cause a fire and can be haz-
ardous to people and pets.

Always take the following precautions
when refueling:
• Never permit anyone other than an

adult to refill the fuel tank.

• If you use a portable fuel tank, always

stop the motor and remove the fuel
tank from the boat to refill it.

• Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to

the top or fuel may overflow when it
expands due to heating by the sun.

• Be careful not to spill fuel. If you do,

wipe it up immediately.

• Do not smoke, and keep away from

open flames and sparks.

NOTICE

Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint
damage, which is not covered under the
New Outboard Motor Limited Warranty.

Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled,
wipe it up immediately.
