FUEL AND LUBRICATION

Fueling Procedure

◆

WARNING

Follow these safe boating fueling instructions explicitly.

Do not allow anyone to remain on the watercraft.

Do not smoke or allow open flames in the vicinity.

Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.

Do not insert the spout too far in filler neck.

Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape from the tank and prevent fuel flowback.

Do not lean watercraft while fueling.

Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck.

Do not overfill. Fully tighten fuel tank cap and wipe off any fuel spillage.

◆

WARNING

Do not lean the watercraft to allow more fuel to fill the fuel tank.

The tank design makes provision for fuel expansion of about 5%. If this area is filled, fuel will expand and may come out through fuel vent. Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is inflammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Never top off the fuel tank and leave watercraft in the sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow.

Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the watercraft.

Recommended Fuel

Use regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane (Ron + Mon/2) specification.

NOTE: Look on service station pump sticker for octane specification. Do not mix oil with fuel except at engine break-in. Refer to BREAK-IN PERIOD.

Always check injection oil tank level when refueling.

The use of good quality fuel is necessary. A well known fuel brand is highly recommended.

-

CAUTION

Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. Never use fuel containing alcohol, methanol or similar products including naphtha. The use of non-recommended fuel can result in watercraft performance deterioration and damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine components.

Recommended Oil

SPX, GS, GTS and GTI Models

Use BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-

TION OIL which is available from authorized dealers. It is a blend of specially selected base oils and additives which provides proper lubrication, engine cleanliness and minimum spark plug fouling.

NOTE: High quality low ash API TC injection oil for 2-cycle engines can be used if BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-

TION OIL is not available.

-

CAUTION

Never use 4-cycle petroleum or synthetic motor oil and never mix these with outboard motor oil.

Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2 or TC-W3 outboard motor oils or other ashless type 2-cycle oil.

Avoid mixing different brands of

API TC oil as resulting chemical reaction may cause severe engine damage.

XP Limited, GSX Limited and

GTX Limited

Use BOMBARDIER ROTAX FORMU-

LA XP-S synthetic injection oil (or the equivalent synthetic oil).

This fully synthetic oil will provide outstanding lubrication and cleanliness, less friction and wear for greater engine performance and durability.

-

CAUTION

The 947 engine requires the use of Bombardier Rotax Formula

XP-S SYNTHETIC injection oil (or the equivalent synthetic oil).

Oil Injection System

This watercraft features an oil injection system which does not require manual fuel/oil mixing.

A sufficient amount of injection oil should be maintained in the tank.

NOTE: Always carry a 1 L of injection oil.

-

CAUTION

Always maintain a sufficient amount of injection oil in the oil tank. Check and refill every time you refuel. Do not overfill. If the engine runs out of oil, severe engine damage will occur. If the oil tank is found almost empty, air can enter in the system and it must be bled. Immediately refer to an authorized dealer to have the oil injection system inspected.
