Fueling

Preparing For Fueling
Always fill your boat’s fuel tank before loading passengers and gear. If passengers are on board, have
them leave the boat until fueling is complete.

Inspect fuel system for leakage, weakening, hardening, swelling, or corrosion of the components
including fuel tanks, fuel lines, fittings, fuel filters, and carburetors. Contact your local Legend dealer if any
components show signs of leakage or deterioration as it must be replaced before starting the engine.

! WARNING

Fire and Explosion Hazard! Do not smoke. Extinguish all open flames. Stop engines. Do not
use electrical switches and other devices that could cause a spark or flame. Close all openings.
Turn off all cell phones. Make sure that all passengers are off the boat while refueling

• Securely moor boat to dock. Stop Engine.
• Turn off all electronic equipment, engines, lights and bilge pump, etc.
• Put out all smoking materials such as cigarettes. Do not use anything that can produce a
spark or flame.
• Close all compartment lids to prevent accumulation of fuel vapors.
• Make sure to have a fire extinguisher readily available.

Important!
Follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations for types of fuel and oil. Use of
improper products may damage the engine and void the warranty.

! WARNING

Do not use fuels containing any form of alcohol or alcohol derivatives. Alcohol destroys
marine fuel system hoses and components. Weakened hoses can lead to hazardous leaks,
fire, or explosion. If only gasoline containing alcohol is available or the presence of alcohol is
unknown, you must inspect the system more frequently.

During Fueling
• Always fill tank in an area having adequate lighting. You may not see gasoline spills under poor
lighting or in darkness
