Fuel and oil

This watercraft is equipped with a 4-stroke en- gine. Conventional 2-stroke engine oil cannot be used.

The engine utilizes an electronic fuel injection system to deliver the optimal air-fuel ratio required by the engine. By ensuring the optimal combustion conditions, this system is able to increase startability and improve fuel econo- my.

WARNING

GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!

●Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition.

●Stop the engine before refueling.

●Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the watercraft in a horizontal position.

●Do not stand or sit on the watercraft while refueling in case of fire.

●Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso- line spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Always properly dispose of gasoline-soaked rags.

●Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill- ing when the fuel level reaches approxi- mately 50 mm (2 in) from the top of the fuel tank. Fuel expands as it warms up and could overflow if the fuel tank has been overfilled. If temporarily leaving the watercraft with a full fuel tank, do not leave it in direct sunlight. Leave it in a well-ventilated area with the watercraft in a horizontal position.

●Tighten the fuel tank filler cap securely after refueling.

●If you should swallow some gasoline, in- hale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gaso- line in your eyes, get immediate medical attention.

●If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets the minimum octane ratings.

Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage and engine performance problems.
