you never leave the fuel ll unattended
when gassing up.
MasterCraft also recommends daily in-
spection of the bilge for foreign materials
and the possibility of gas or oil leakage
detection. As part of your daily inspection,
include a visual check of the orange re-
sleeved fuel line. If you see damage to the
sleeve or line or in any way suspect dam-
age or fuel leakage, DO NOT START
THE BOAT! Immediately call an autho-
rized MasterCraft servicing dealer and let
him or her assess the situation. Even if it
results in the outing being canceled, leak-
ing fuel can cause serious damage to the
environment and may be a potentially haz-
ardous situation for people and property in
the area. Therefore, it is critical to attend to
any indication that there is fuel line damage
or fuel leakage as soon as possible.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Always
stop the engine and never smoke or allow
open flames or sparks within fify (50) feet
of the fueling area when fueling.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline
is spilled accidentally, wipe up all traces of
it with dry rags immediately and dispose
properly on shore.
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is
present or gasoline is visually observed in
the bilge area during inspection, DO NOT
START YOUR ENGINE! If the engine is al-
ready running, press the START-STOP but-
ton to stop the engine. Remove the ignition
key from the ignition switch and call an au-
thorized MasterCraf dealer for service.
Fuel Levels
Starting the engine with fuel levels be-
low the acceptable standard will likely cause
damage to the fuel pump. MasterCraft,
working in conjunction with the fuel
pump manufacturer, has determined that
on initial (rst-time) use, the boat should
have a minimum of fteen (15) gallons of
gas. This will prevent fuel starvation in in-
stances of extreme running angles or slosh-
ing away from the fuel pick-up.
Note that continuous wake surng port
or starboard with low fuel in the tank will
starve the pump of fuel and cause it to ei-
ther seize or overheat and blow fuses. The
boat should never be used for wake surng
at less than one-quarter (1/4) tank full of
fuel.
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall
below one-quarter of a tank full may aect
the reliability of the fuel pump or result in
damage to the fuel pump, which is not cov-
ered under warranty.
