SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PROPANE UNITS

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

Burning propane makes Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is invisible, has no smell and can kill you. Operating your outboard engine in an enclosed area can be dangerous.

1. Use only in well ventilated areas. If you experience headache, drowsiness, or nausea, turn unit o and get fresh air quickly.

2. Never use where people are sleeping.

3. Follow unit instructions for proper use.

HANDLING & STORAGE OF PROPANE TANKS

1. Keep out of reach of children.

2. Never expose to heat, sparks, or ﬂame.

3. Never store in direct sunlight.

4. Never store at temperatures above 120 degrees F

(49° C).

5. Never store in living spaces.

6. Always use tank until it is completely empty.

7. Never store in luggage or take on trains or aircraft.

8. To discard, contact local refuse hauler or recycle center.

9. Never put in ﬁre or incinerator. Do not puncture.

NOTE: FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD

Propane tanks contain enough gas to cause serious ﬁre, explosion, and burns. To reduce chance of leak, ﬁre, or explosion, take the following precautions:

BEFORE USE

1. Check tank and hose seals. Never use with damaged or missing seals. Clean tank if dirt or rust particles are in valve area.

2. Attach tanks outdoors away from pilot lights, ﬂames, sparks or other ignition sources. These sources can ignite leaking gas.

4. Hand tighten only. Never use tools to tighten. Over tightening can damage seals.

5. Check for leaks. Put soapy water on connections. Look for bubbles. Listen for hiss of escaping gas. Feel for extreme cold. Smell for rotten egg odor. Do not use if leaking.

6. Read and follow operation instructions.

DURING USE

Never use near pilot lights, ﬂames, sparks, or other ignition sources. They can ignite leaking gas.

AFTER USE

1. Turn engine o and let cool.

2. Detach tank when not in use.

3. Detach outdoors away from pilot lights, ﬂames, sparks,

or other ignition sources, they can ignite leaking gas.

4. Replace valve and connector caps to keep them clean.

IN CASE OF FIRE

1. Leave area quickly and call for help.

2. Let the tank burn out.

UNDERSTANDING PROPANE

NOTE: Use propane only in tanks speciﬁcally designed and approved for this unit. Propane is a combustible gas, it is colorless and thus invisible to the naked eye. Propane has a harmless odorant added so that it is possible to smell it. The user should be familiar with the smell of propane (smells like sulfur or rotten eggs). If at any time the smell of propane is identiﬁed, turn o the engine. If the leak persists, remove the propane tank. Never attempt to operate a unit that has a suspected leak. Always remove the propane tank from any unit that has a suspected leak.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PROPANE TANK

Use of a LEHR Liquid Draw propane tank is recommended. A DOT approved propane tank may be used, however extended use at high RPM may result slowed engine performance. Connect the tank to the remote propane connector with the provided high pressure propane hose.

NOTE: Do not use a hose assembly that includes a pressure regulator.

TILLER HANDLE

To change direction wile operating your boat, move the tiller handle to the left or right as necessary.

GEAR SHIFT LEVER

Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: Forward(F), Neutral(N), and Reverse(R). Reduce throttle speed to idle speed before shifting. Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.

THROTTLE GRIP

The throttle grip is on the tiller handle. Turn the grip counterclockwise to increase speed and clockwise to decrease speed.

THROTTLE FRICTION ADJUSTER

A friction device provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip or the remote control lever, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING: Do not overtighten the throttle friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to move throttle lever or grip, which could result in an accident. When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster just enough to maintain the desired throttle setting.

ENGINE STOP SWITCH

The stop switch lock must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to run. The hook should be attached to a secure place on the operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall over board or leave the helm, the hook will pull out the stop switch lock, stopping ignition to the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power.

WARNING: Attach the engine stop switch hook to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while operating. Do not attach the hook to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where it could be come entangled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

NOTE: The engine cannot be started with the stop switch lock removed.

ENGINE STOP BUTTON

To stop the engine, push and hold the engine stop switch button or pull the lanyard out from the switch.

MANUAL STARTER HANDLE

To start the engine, first gently pull the handle out until resistance is felt. From that position, then pull the handle straight out quickly to crank the engine.

NOTE: If the shift lever is not in the neutral position the starter rope will be locked and cannot be pulled

STEERING FRICTION ADJUSTER

A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be set according to operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the swivel bracket.

To increase resistance, turn the adjuster bolt clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster bolt counterclockwise.

WARNING

Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to

steer, which could result in an accident.

GENERAL INFORMATION

TRIM ROD

The position of the trim rod determines the angle of the outboard motor in relation to the transom

TILT LOCK MECHANISM

The tilt support lock keeps the outboard motor in the tilted up position. If the outboard engine needs to be tilted up out of the water or to get the propeller higher than the bottom of the boat, unlock the tilt lock mechanism as shown and tilt the engine upwards. Once the engine is all the way up, the tilt lock mechanism will engage and lock the engine in the up position. To release the lock to lower the engine pull up on the rear carrying handle to lift the engine up as far as it will go. While the engine is all the way up, turn the lock lever to the lock position to disengage it while lowering the engine.

WARNING: Do not use the tilt support bar when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose from the tilt support and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in the normal running position, use an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position.

TOP COVER LOCK LEVER

Pull the lock lever upwards from the bottom and unhook from the top cover. Then lift the cover from the rear and remove from the front hook. When installing the cover, make sure the front hook is securely inserted in it’s slot, then lock the rear lever into place. Check to be sure the rubber seal fits properly on the lower cowling. Then lock the cover by moving the lever downward.

CARRYING HANDLES

Carrying handles are provided on the front and rear of the outboard motor. The handles enable you to carry the outboard motor easily with two hands.

INSTALLATION

Incorrect engine height or obstructions to smooth water flow in front of the propeller can cause propeller cavita tion while the boat is cruising. Cavitat ion occurs when the engine speeds up momentarily and suddenly slows as the propeller engages the water. Severe engine damage may result if the motor is operated continuously while cavit ating. During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry in to the power head, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.

MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

• Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not i nstall an outboard motor with more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacit y plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a capacity plate,

consult the boat manufacturer.

• This section is int ended as reference only

. It is not possib le to provide complete instructions for every possible boat and motor combinat ion. Proper mounting depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination. Improper mount ing of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions, or poor handling, loss of control, or boat damage.

• Your dealer or ot her person experienced in proper out board m otor mountings should show you how to mount your motor. Mount the outboard mot or on the center line (keel line) of the boat, and ensure that the boat itself is well balanced. Otherwise the boat will be hard to steer. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer.

MOUNTING HEIGHT

To run your boat a t best efficiency, the water resistance (drag ) of the boat and outboard motor must be made as little as possible. The mount ing height of the outboard motor greatly affects the water resistance. If the

mounting height is too high, cavitat ion tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion, and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine speed will rise abnormally and cause the engine to over heat. If the mounting height is too low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount th e outboard motor so that the ant i-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm (1in.) below it.

The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired use. Test runs at different heights can help determine the opt imum mounting height. Consult your boat manufacturer for further informat ion on determining the proper mounting height.

CLAMPING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

1. Place the outboard motor on the transom so that it is positioned as close to the center as possible. Tighten the transom clamp screws evenly and securely. Occasionall y check the clamp screws for tightness

during

operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine vibration.

WARNING: Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to f all off or move on the transom. This could cause loss of cont rol and serious injury. Make sure the transom screws are tight ened securely. Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.

2. If an engine restraint cable or chain attac hment is equipped on your boat, the cable or chain should be used. Attach one end of the engine restraint cable attachment to the engine clamp and the other to a secure mounting point on the boat. Otherwise the engine could be completely lost i f it accidentally falls off the transom.

OPERATION

CONNECTING THE PROPANE TANK

1. Make sure the engine is off and the propane tank is closed.

2. Unscrew the brass connector plug from the propane connector on the engine.

3. Connect the high pressure propane hose to the propane connector by turning the connector on the hose clockwise.

4. Connect the propane hose to the propane tank. The threads that connect to the propane tank are left hand turn.

5. Open the valve on the tank slowly. Opening the valve too quickly could cause the sudden surge of propane to activate a safety flow limiting device within the tank.

NOTE: Use only a high pressure propane hose. Do not use a hose with a regulator attached.

NOTE: When a new hose from a propane tank is being used, it may take a few seconds for the propane to flow to reach the engine. The engine may start and then die, or not start immediately. A few extra pulls of the starter are usually sufficient for the flow to reach the engine.

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral. The engine is equipped with a lockout which will prevent the stater rope from being pulled if the engine is engaged in forward or reverse. If you engine is electric start, it will not start if it is engaged in forward or reverse.

WARNING: Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from rotating parts while the engine is running. Do not touch or remove electrical parts when starting or during operation.

2. Attach the stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then install the stop switch lock on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop switch.

• o not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. o not route the lanyard where it could become

entangled, preventing it from functioning.

• oid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of

most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

Place

the

"START" position

If the engine is cold, set the position about 1/8 to 1/4 of

a turn faster than the “start” or Idle position.

4. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight out to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.

5. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to the original position before releasing it.

6. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.

NOTE: If the engine fails to start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a small amount more (between 1/4 - 1/3 throttle) and try again. Also if the engine is warm and fails to start, open the throttle a small amount and try to start the engine again. If the weather is below 45 degrees F, open the throttle to 1/4 - 1/2 to start cold.

ELECTRIC START MODELS

Place the gear shift lever in neutral. The engine is equipped with a neutral safety switch, which will prevent the starter to engage if the engine is in gear. Place the throttle in the start position. Press the start button and release after the engine is running.

OPERATION

WARMING UP ENGINE

1. Warm up the engine by operating at 1/2 throttle or less for the first 4 minutes. Failure to do so may cause the engine to stall in cold weather, and will shorten engine life.

2. Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole.

NOTE: A continuous flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling passages. If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, over heating and serious damage could occur. Stop the engine and check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is blocked. Consult your dealer if the problem cannot be located and corrected.

SHIFTING

WARNING: Before shifting, make sure no swimmers are in the water near your boat.

1. Place the throttle in the slowest position.

2. Move the gear shift lever quickly to the desired gear from neutral to forward or reverse. WARNING: When operating your outboard engine in reverse, go slowly. Do not attempt to open the throttle more than half throttle in reverse. Otherwise your boat can become unstable which can result in loss of control or a possible accident.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Push and hold the engine stop button until the engine completely stops.

2. After the engine has stopped disconnect or close the valve on the propane tank.

ADJUSTING BOAT TRIM

WARNING: Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle. Use care to avoid being pinched when removing the trim rod. Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.

• ilt the engine up slightly.

• Reposition the rod inside the desired hole.

• o raise the bow (trim-out), moe the trim rod away from the transom.

• o lower the bow (trim-in), moe the trim rod closer to the transom.

• est the boat with the trim set to different angles to find the position that wors best for your boat and

operating conditions.

NOTE: The outboard motor trim angle can be changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting the trim rod one hole.

OPERATION

When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the bow of the boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help to help offset this effect. When the bow is down, it is easier to accelerate from a standing start onto plane.

BOW UP

Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water. Performance and economy are decreased because the hull of the boat is pushing the water and there is more drag. Excessive trim-out can also cause the propeller to ventilate, which reduces performance further, and the boat may “porpoise” (hop in the water) which could throw the operator and passengers overboard.

BOW DOWN

Too much trim-in causes the boat to “plow” through the water, decreasing fuel economy and making it hard to increase speed. Operating with excessive trim-in at higher speeds also makes the boat unstable. Resistance at the bow is greatly increased, heightening the danger of “bow steering” and making operation difficult and dangerous.

NOTE: Depending on the type of boat, the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of the boat when operating.

TILTING UP AND DOWN

If the engine will be stopped for some time and the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage from collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion.

WARNING: Before tilting the outboard motor, follow the procedure under “Stopping Engine” in this section. Never tilt the outboard motor while the engine is running. Sever damage from o verheating can result. Do not tilt the engine b y pushing the tiller handle alone bec ause this could break the handle. Hold from the rear of the top cover to help tilt the engine up and down. Keep the power unit higher than the propeller at all times otherwise water could run i nto the cylinder and cause damage. The outboard motor cannot be tilted while in reverse.

WARNING: Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.

Follow the procedures in “Tilt Lock Mechanism” on pg 6 for tilting the engine up and down instructions.

STORE WITH THE TILLER SIDE DOWN

TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

WARNING: Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When transporting or storing the outboard motor, disconnect the propane connector to prevent the possibility of fuel from leaking. Use care when transporting the fuel tank whether in boat or car.

Never get under the lower unit while i t is tilted, even if a motor support bar is used. Severe injury could occur if the outboard motor accidentally falls.

Do not use the tilt support lever when trailering the boat. The out board motor could shake loose from the tilt support and fall. If the motor can not be trailered in the normal running position, use an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position.

The outboard motor should be trailered and st ored in the normal running position. If there is insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the outboard motor in the tilt position using a motor support device such as a transom saver bar.

When transporting or st oring the outboard motor while removed from a boat, keep the outboard motor in the attitudes shown.

WARNING: This engine weighs at least 88.7 lbs. (40 Kg). Use a hoist or an extra person to help when ever possible when lifting and moving the engine is required.

STORING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

NOTE: Place a towel or something similar under the outboard motor to protect it from damage.

When storing your outboard motor for prolonged periods of time (2 months or longer), several important procedures must be performed to prevent excessive damage.

NOTE: Cooling system flushing is essent ial to prevent the cooling syst em from clogging up with salt sand, or dirt. In

addition, fogging / lubricating of the engine is mandatory to prevent exc essive engine

damage due to rust. Perform the flushing and fogging at the same time.

• To prevent problems which can be caused by oil ent ering the cylinder from the sump, keep the outboard motor in the attit ude shown when transporting and storing it. If storing or transporting the outboard motor on its side (not upright), put it on a cushion after draining the engine oil.

• Do not place the outboard motor on it s side before the cooling wat er has drained from it complet ely, otherwise water may ent er the cylinder through the exhaust port and cause engine trouble.

• Store the outboard motor in a dry, well vent ilated place, not in direct sunlight.

CLEANING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR AFTER USE

1. After use wash the exterior of the outboard mot or with fresh water.

2. Flush the cooling syst em with fresh water.

CHECKING PAINTED SURFACE OF MOTOR

1. Check the motor for scratches, nicks, or flaking paint. Areas with damaged paint are more likely to corrode. If necessary, clean and paint the areas.

NOTE: Be sure to turn o ff the engine when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. If you or the owner are not familiar with machine servicing, this work should be done by your LEHR dealer or other qualified mechanic.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If replacement parts are necessary, use only genuine LEHR parts or parts of the same type and of equivalent strength and materials. Any part of inf erior quality may malfunction, and the resulting loss of control could endanger the operator and passengers. LEHR genuine parts and accessories are available from your LEHR dealer, or directly from LEHR.

MAINTENANCE CHART

Frequency of maintenance operat ions may be adjusted according to the operating condit ions, but the following table gives general guidelines. Refer to the sections in this chapter for explanat ions of each owner-specificaction. When operating in salt wat er or dirty water, the engine should be flushed wit h clean water after each use.

GREASING

NOTE: Use only water resist ant grease.

Grease in these areas:

Spark plug gap:

0.020-0.024 in (0.5-0.6 mm)

Spark plug torque:

18.4 ft-lb (25.0 Nm)

SPARK PLUGS

WARNING: When removing or installing a spark plug, be caref ul not to damage the insulator. A damaged insulator could allow ext ernal sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire.

Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge. Adjust the gap to specific ation if necessary.

When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surf ace and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque.

NOTE: If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate o f the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the correct torque as soon as possible with a torque wrench.

INSPECTION CHECKPOINTS

Periodically check the fuel system for leaks. With the propane tank attached, and the engine cover removed, inspect the following fuel system parts for leakage. Leaks can be identified by smell of propane or carefully listening for a hissing sound of escaping gas. Suspected leaks can be verified by applying soapy water solution on the area and observing bubbles forming.

The spark plug is an important engine part and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the condition o f the engine. Normally, the spark plug in a propane engine will stay very clean. Oily or dark color ceramic could indicate a malfunction. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the outboard mot or to a L EHR dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because the electric arcing will cause the spark plug to slowly erode and the gap will increase. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or i f carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type.

Page 19

ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED

WARNING: Do not touch or remove electrical parts when starting or during operation. Keep hands, hair, and clothes away from the flywheel and other rotating parts while the engine is running.

CAUTION: This procedure must be performed while the outboard motor is in the water. A flushing attachment or test tank can be used.

NOTE: A diagnostic tachometer should be used for this procedure. Results may vary depending on whether testing is conducted with the flushing attachment, in a test tank, or with the outboard motor in the water.

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up fully in neutral until it is running smoothly. NOTE: Correct idling speed inspection is only possible if the engine is fully warmed up. If not warmed up fully, the idle speed will measure higher than normal. If you have difficulty verifying the idle speed, or the idle speed requires adjustment, consult a LEHR dealer or other qualified mechanic.

2. Verify whether the idle speed is set to specification (1050 + 150 RPM). Adjust the speed by turning the idle speed screw with a phillips head screw driver.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

WARNING: Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should be handled with care to avoid burns.

• e sure the outboard motor is securely fastened to the transom or a stable stand.

• o not oerfill the oil, and be sure the outboard motor is upright (not tilted) when checing and changing

the engine oil.

• If the oil leel is aboe the upper leel mar, drain until the leel meets the specified capacity. erfilling

the oil could cause leakage or damage.

• hange the engine oil after the first 1 hours of operation, and eery 1 hours or at 6 month interals

thereafter. Otherwise the engine will wear quickly.

NOTE: Change the engine oil when the oil is still warm.

1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).

2. Prepare a suitable container that holds a larger amount than the engine oil capacity. Loosen and remove the drain plug while holding the container under the drain hole. The oil drain plug is located on the tiller side of the engine. Use a 12 mm socket wrench. Then remove the oil fill cap. Let the oil drain completely. Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.

3. Put a new gasket on the oil drain plug. Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and install the drain screw.

NOTE: If a torque wrench is not available when you are installing the drain screw, finger tighten the screw just until the gasket comes in contact with the surface of the drain hole. Then tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten the drain screw to the correct torque with a torque wrench as soon as possible.

4. Add the correct amount of oil through the filler hole. Install the filler cap.

PROPELLER SELECTION

Your LEHR outboard engine is supplied with a propeller that matches the needs of a boat most suited to an engine of its size. If you feel you are not getting optimal performance from the engine on your boat, a different pitch propeller could help. The performance of your outboard motor will be affected if you choose a different propeller, as an incorrect choice could adversely affect performance and could also seriously damage the motor. Engine speed depends on the propeller size and boat load. If engine speed is too high or too low for good engine performance, this will have an adverse effect on the engine. For a greater operating load, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable as it enables the correct engine speed to be maintained. Conversely, a larger-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operation load.

NOTE: Select a propeller which will allow the engine to reach the middle or upper half of the operation range at full throttle with the maximum boat load. In operation conditions such as light boat loads, do not allow the engine RPM to rise above the maximum recommended range, reduce the throttle setting to maintain the engine in the proper operation range.
