Water separator

Check the water separator 1 for water. Normally the water separator is empty. The water separator retains any water entering through the fuel tank breather hose if the watercraft is capsized.

If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw 2. Place a drain pan under the water separator to catch the draining water or use a dry cloth to soak up any water that could spill into the watercraft. If any water spills into the water- craft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth. Be sure to install the drain screw after draining the water separator.
