Fuel and oil
This engine uses Yamaha’s oil injection
system, which provides superior lubrication
by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-
ing conditions. No fuel premixing is neces-
sary except during the engine break-in
period. Simply pour gasoline into the fuel
tank and oil into the oil tank.
Gasoline
WARNING
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
●Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.
●Stop engine before refueling.
●Refuel in a well-ventilated area. 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 just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up
the filler tube because fuel expands as
it warms up and could overflow.
●Tighten the filler cap securely after
refueling.
●If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
gasoline in your eyes, get immediate
medical attention.
●If any gasoline spills onto your skin,
immediately wash with soap and
water. Change clothing if gasoline
spills on it.
