(6) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.
(7) Stop filling when the fuel level reaches
approximately 50 mm (2 in) from the top
of the fuel tank. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Because fuel expands when it heats
up, heat from the engine or the sun can
cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank. Donot leave the watercraft with a full tank in
direct sunlight.
(8) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with
a dry cloth.
(9) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight-
ening it until it clicks.

Draining the bilge water
NOTICE
ECJ01301
Do not run the engine at full throttle when
bilge water remains in the engine compart-
ment. The bilge water can splash into the
engine, which can result in severe dam-
age.
EJU40033Draining the bilge water on land

(1) Loosen the stern drain plugs and remove
them.
(2) Raise the bow of the watercraft, such as

maining moisture in the engine compart-
ment with a dry cloth.
(4) Securely install the stern drain plugs by
tightening them until they stop. NOTICE:
Before installing the stern drain plugs,
clean the drain plug threads to remove
any foreign materials, such as dirt or
sand. Otherwise, the stern drain plugs
could be damaged, allowing water to
enter the engine compartment. Make
sure that the stern drain plugs are
tightened securely before launching
the watercraft. Otherwise, water may
flood the engine compartment and
cause the watercraft to submerge.

Draining the bilge water on water
A small quantity of bilge water will remain in
the engine compartment even after the bilge
water is drained on water. To completely drain
the bilge water, remove the watercraft from
the water and drain the bilge water on land.
Jet vacuum bilge draining system
While the watercraft is operating, bilge water
that collects in the engine compartment is
drawn in by the vacuum that is generated in
the jet pump and discharged from the water-
craft through the jet thrust nozzle.
To drain the bilge water on water:
Operate the watercraft as straight as possible
and above planing speed for at least 2 min-
utes. NOTICE: Do not run the engine at full
throttle for at least 1 minute after the en-
gine has been restarted. Bilge water in the
engine compartment can splash into theengine, which can result in severe dam-
age.
[ECJ00553]
Electric bilge draining system
Bilge water that collects in the engine com-
partment is drawn in by the operation of the
electric bilge pump and discharged from the
watercraft through the electric bilge pilot out-
let.
To check for proper operation of the electric
bilge draining system, make sure that bilge
water is being discharged from the electric
bilge pilot outlet.
To drain the bilge water:
Start the engine to operate the electric bilge
pump.
TIP:
The electric bilge pump continues to operate
for a short time after the engine stops.

Transporting on a trailer
When transporting the watercraft on a trailer,
secure the tie downs to the trailer through the
bow eye and stern eyes. NOTICE: Do not at-
tach ropes or tie downs to any part of the
watercraft other than the bow eye and
stern eyes to secure the watercraft to the
trailer. Otherwise, the watercraft may be
damaged. Wrap the ropes or tie downs
with towels or rags where they touch the
body of the watercraft to avoid scratches
or damage. Do not transport the watercraft
with the shift lever in the reverse position.
Otherwise, the reverse gate may hit an ob-
stacle, which could cause damage.
