Section 8

Care and Maintenance

This section describes how to care and maintain your Nautique

boat. Periodic inspection and maintenance of items listed in this

section is absolutely necessary.

Winterization and some engine maintenance functions are best

performed by your Nautique dealer. Some maintenance items that

can be done by you or your dealer are listed below. We suggest that

you familiarize yourself with these even if you have your dealer

service your boat.

General Maintenance

1. Read engine operator and maintenance manual very carefully.

2. Check for fuel line leaks every time you use the boat.

3. DO NOT start your engine if gasoline odor is present. Gasoline

fumes are highly explosive. Before starting your engine, open

the engine cover, inspect the engine compartment for gasoline

fumes and operate the blower for at least four minutes. Run

your blower when operating at slow speeds. If fuel vapors are

present, do not start the engine. Check all hoses and fittings to

determine the source of the vapor. Make the necessary

adjustments or take the boat to your local dealer to eliminate

the fuel vapor.

Fumes accumulating in bilge area present a

fire or explosion hazard which could cause death or severe

injury. Ventilate the engine compartment by running the

blower for four minutes, especially after repairing or refueling

and check for fuel spills or leaks. If you smell gasoline vapor

or see liquid gasoline, DO NOT start the engine.
