Storage; Fuel System - Yamaha AR210 Owner's/Operator's Manual

STORAGE

Storing your boat for prolonged periods
of time, such as winter storage,
requires preventative maintenance to
ensure against deterioration. It is advis-
able to have the boat serviced by an
authorized Yamaha Boat dealer before
storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by the owner
with a minimum of tools.

FUEL SYSTEM

Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel,
adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer or an equiv-
alent to each gallon of fuel. A full fuel
tank is less likely to allow condensation
to collect in the tank, reducing the
chance of contaminated fuel. Running
the engines with treated fuel during
cooling system flushing will also help
protect carburetors and fuel lines.
NOTE: Use
Conditioner and Stabilizer eliminates
the need to drain the fuel system.
Consult your Yamaha dealer or other
qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.
FUEL SHUT-OFF PROCEDURE
Your boat is equipped with fuel supply
shut-off valves. When storing your boat
for more than 30 days, it is recom-
mended that you turn off the fuel supply
valves. This isolates fuel in the fuel tank
and helps prevent contamination of the
fuel system during storage.

AINTENANCE
To turn the fuel supply off, lift the center
passenger seat base cushion. Remove
the fuel shut-off valve access cover by
unscrewing it. Once the cover is off,
turn both fuel valve levers clockwise
90° until they are perpendicular to the
fuel lines 1.
To turn the fuel supply on, turn each
lever counter clockwise to the in line
position 2. Remember that both valves
must be on for both engines to receive
fuel from the fuel tank.
