Fuel and oil systems
Check the fuel system for leakage, cracks
or malfunctions before each use. (See page
4-10 for check points and correct proce-
dures.)
1. Remove the fuel tank filler cap to release
any pressure that might have built up in
the fuel tank.
2. Remove all seats and front storage com-
partment. (See pages 2-4 and 2-5 for
front and rear seat, and 2-15 for front
storage compartment.)
3. Check the fuel and oil levels in the tanks
and replenish if necessary. (See pages
3-3 and 3-4 for filling instructions.)

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 drain-
ing the water separator.
