(2) To mix them thoroughly, shake the con-
tainer from side to side.
EJU31917Filling the fuel tank
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do not
stand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated
area and in a horizontal position.
(3) Remove the hood, and then check the
fuel level. (See page 24 for hood removal
and installation procedures.)
(4) Loosen the fuel filler cap and remove it.
(5) Slowly add fuel to the fuel tank.(6) Stop filling when the fuel level just reach-
es the bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill
up the filler tube. Because fuel expands
when it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank. Do not leave the watercraft
with a full tank in direct sunlight.
(7) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately with
a dry cloth.
(8) Securely install the fuel filler cap by tight-
ening it until it stops.
(9) Securely install the hood in its original
position.

water flows out continually from the
cooling water pilot outlet.
(7) Run the engine at idling speed for about
3 minutes watching the engine condition.
If the engine stops while flushing, turn
the water supply off immediately and
perform the procedure again from step 6.
NOTICE: Do not supply water to the
cooling water passages when the en-
gine is not running. The water could
flow back through the muffler into the
engine, causing severe engine dam-
age.
[ECJ00123]
(8) Turn the water supply off.
(9) Discharge the remaining water out of the
cooling water passages by alternately
squeezing and releasing the throttle lever
quickly for 10 to 15 seconds.
(10) Stop the engine.
(11) Remove the garden hose adapter, and
then securely install the flushing hose
connector cap by tightening it until it
stops.
(12) Securely install the hood in its original
position.
EJU40743Cleaning the watercraft
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 24 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)
(2) Rinse the engine and engine compart-
ment with a small amount of water.
NOTICE: Do not use high-pressurewater when rinsing the engine or en-
gine compartment as severe engine
damage could result.
[ECJ00572]
(3) Wipe the engine and engine compart-
ment with a dry cloth.
(4) Wash down the hull, deck, and jet pump
with fresh water.
(5) Wipe the hull, deck, and jet pump with a
dry cloth.
(6) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components,
such as the engine compartment seals,
with a vinyl protectant.
(7) To minimize corrosion, spray metallic
parts of the hull, deck, and engine with a
rust inhibitor.
(8) Allow the engine compartment to air dry
completely before installing the hood.
(9) Securely install the hood in its original
position.
EJU33687Battery care

a month, remove the battery from the water-
craft, check it, and then store it in a cool, dry
