(FUEL TANK SIDE)
(OUTBOARD MOTOR SIDE)
FUEL HOSE CONNECTOR
Place the portable fuel tank in a well-
ventilated location, away from direct
sunlight, to reduce the possibility of a
gasoline vapor explosion.
To ensure that the outboard motor
will be able to draw fuel from the
tank, place the tank within 6 feet (2
m) of the outboard motor and not
more than 3 feet (1 m) below the fuel
connector on the outboard motor.
Secure the portable fuel tank in the
boat so that it won’t move around
and become damaged.
Before use, open the fuel tank vent
by turning the vent knob at least 2 or
3 turns counterclockwise.
Connect the fuel hose to the tank and
the outboard motor, as shown. Be
sure both connectors snap securely
into place.
