FUEL AND LUBRICATION CAUTION: Scrupulously follow the instructions of this section. Failure to do so may reduce the engine’s life and/or performance.
Fueling Procedure
WARNING Follow these safe boating fueling instructions explicitly. Do not allow anyone to remain on the craft. Tie craft securely to the fueling pier. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand. Do not insert the spout too far in filler neck. Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape from the tank and prevent fuel flowback. Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap.
WARNING Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is inflammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Fuel tank may be pressurized. Slowly turn cap when opening. Keep craft level. Do not overfill. Never top off the fuel tank and leave craft in the sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the craft.
Recommended Fuel Use regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane (Ron + Mon)/2 specification. NOTE: Do not mix oil with fuel except at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN PERIOD. Always check injection oil tank level when refueling. CAUTION: Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use fuel containing more than 10% alcohol, (ethanol or methanol). The use of non-recommended fuel can result in craft performance deterioration and damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine components.
Recommended Oil
WARNING Add oil to level mark. Do not overfill. Reinstall cap and fully tighten. Use only two-stroke engine injection oil sold by authorized Sea-Doo dealers. MODEL
