Owner's Responsibility and Operating Safety Check List
BE SURE TO READ AND DO THE FOLLOWING BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
SAFETY CHECK LIST
1. Learnand observe the bolting lawl of the U,S. Coast, Guard,state, local author-
ities.
2. U.S. Coast Guard regulations require the following:
a. Provide an approved llfe+vest, type 1,2 or 3, Personat Flotation Device for each
person in boat. {Encourage passengers to wear them.)
b. If the boat exceeds 16-feet, also carry a type 4, throwable Personal Flotation
Device.
3. Do not fill fuel tank with motor running or near any flame or lighted smoking
material.
4. When loading boat distribute the load evenly, keep the load low; don't overload;
don't stand in a small boat. Take weather and water conditions into account.
5. Do not permit persons to ride on parts of the boat not designed for such use.
Standing, bow riding and seat back or gunwale riding can be especially dangerous.
OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY
6. Read owner's manual before running your new outboard motor,
7. Before starting, make sure your motor is securely mounted to boat transom with a
safety chain. Tighten clamp stud handles securely by hand,
8. Be sure to have pliers, screwd¢iver, spare spark plugs, wrench, shear pins and cotter
pins in boat whenever leaving shore.
9. Be sure to have an adequate supply of fuel (carry only in an approved container) on
board. Use a good grade of regular gasoline with proper mixture, as cited in the
Specification s.
10. Occasionally check to be sure clamp stud handles on transom mounting bracket are
tight.
11. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, THE ENGINE CAN BE STOPPED BY DEPRES-
SING THE STOP BUTTON (IF 50 EQUIPPED) OR PLACING CHOKE KNOB IN
FULL CHOKE POSITION.
12. Keep an alert lookout. Serious accidents have resulted from failure to use eyes.
13. Keep firefighting and lifesaving equipment in good condition and readily accessible
at all times.
14. Good housekeeping is even more important afloat than ashore. Cleanliness dimin-
ishes the probability of fire and tripping hazards.
TIPS FOR TRAILERING OR AUXILIARY USE
15. When launching or loading boat on a trailer, place your outboard motor in the
tilted storage position. Also when trailering your boat and outboard motor, keep
outboard motor'ln upright {vertical) position on the boat transom. Outboard
im0t0r_;tran_0_l ,across rough roads in the "tilt'* position could cause transom
-damage_bt__m0untJng bradkets to break off, losing your motor, If motor must be
'trailered-ln_'!tiW.'-.=Position, a short length of 2 x 4 should be placed between the
motor bracket and the motor leg, The motor leg should then be firmly tied down
iagainst :the'2_X,;_;'to -prey ent any possible damage. Similar precautions should be
':taken if b=ing'the motor as an auxiliary power source for a sailboat or power boat.
,Whenrusing motor as an auxiliary power source, the use of an auxiliary adjustable

1, FEATURE INFORMATION
). This outboard motor has special design
features as shown in Figure 1.
}. Your selection of our Marine Products will
provide you with many hours of enjoyable
boating. To assure your complete satisfac-
tion on the in_estment you have just made,
we ask you to read this manual thoroughly
before going afloat. Acquaint yourself with
the particular areas of operation on your
outboard motor as you read the step-by-step
procedures. Keep in mind maximum per-
formance is achieved only when the owner
or operator is completely familiar with the
operatlng instructions.
:, Periodic servicing will be required. It is
recommended that you consult your Sear=
Service Center when service fs necessary.
We will be happy to extend our facilities
and assure prompt service.
_. STEERING HANDLE INSTALLATION
f
iRemove snap pln and washer 5 from steering
handle, screw handle mounting bolt in joint
pipe holder and stop steering handle. Then push
!groove at tip of steering handle against handle
stopper.
::Put washer 5 in over handle mounting bolt and
_insert snap pin.
3, LUBRICATION -- GEAR HOUSING
a. The Gear Housing has been pre-lubricated at
the factory; however, the grease level should
be checked as follows using SAE 90 out-
board motor grease. (See Figure 2).
{1 ) oPrior to initial operation.
{2) After first four (4) hours of use.
(3) Recheck after every fifty {50) hours
running time.
(4) Replace with new lubricant pt the end
of your outboard motor season. This
is important, as it removes any water
from the gear housing and prevents
possible corrosion to internal parts.
b. To Check, Drainer Fill gear housing, follow
these steps:
(1) Position outboard motor upright.
(2) Remove drain plug and washer, then
_nsert nozzle of gear lubricant tube
Into hole.
(3) Squeeze tube until lubricant is forced
out around tube.
[4) Replace plug and washer. Be sure plug
is tightened securely,
(5) To achieve complete drainage of lubri-
cant, remove cotter pin, propeller and
shear pin from propeller shaft, also,
gear housing cover by unscrewing 2
bolts.
C,
(6) When lubricant has completely drained,
replace parts and refill gear housing
using filling procedure above.
For best results, lubricate propeller shaft
with lithium grease every 30 to 60 days.
4. MUFFLER INSPECTION
a. Periodically remove muffler, cover by un-
screwing screws and inspect for carbon
build-up inside the muffler inlet and outlet,
the exhaust port and the combustion
chamber of the cylinder. Excessive carbon
wil! prevent drawing the maximum power
out of the engine. (See Figure 3).
b, Care should be exercised while cleaning
away carbon to prevent scratches to the
surface of the engine components and drop-
ping carbon inside of crankcase.
5. PROLONGED STORAGE
a. To store your outboard motor for pro-
longed storage, prepare outboard as fol-
lows:
(1) See paragraph on stopping procedures.
(Ref, 10)
(2) When removing outboard motor from
boat, allow atl water to drain from
unit.
(3) The outboard mercer should be
mounted on a stand vertically with
power head up for storage.
{4) Pull starter handle slowly until resist-
ance is felt due to compression pres-
sore, then stop. Release starter tension
slowly tO prevent engine from revers-
ing rotation due to compression
pressure. This position will close both
the intake end exhaust ports for
storage.
(5) Drain and fill gear housing as outlined
under Lubrication of Gear Housing.
(Ref. 3)
(6) Wipe exterior completely with fresh
water cloth and then apply light coat-
ing of oil.
b. When starting a new season, always use fresh
gasoline. Last year's gasoline may have
varnish deposits that will plug the carbu-
retor jets, thus requiring a complete over-
haul,
c, To plan for the coming season, we recom-
mend you contact your Sears Service
Center before the new season for any service
repair work required.
OPERATION
6, BOAT MOUNTING
a. Mount the motor on the center of the boat
transom (stern), (See Figure 4).
CAUTION
Hand tighten transom bracket and clamp
stud handles simultaneously. Do not use a
wrench or any other device that would
cause damage to brackets. Occasionally
check to be sure tamp stud handles on
transom mounting bracket are tight.
|Sea Figure 5),
b. To obtain the best performance from your
outboard, the following boat transom speci-
fications are recommended: (Sea Figure 4).
Transom Angle {Sea View 3):
........... 12 to 15 degrees
Transom Height (See View 4):
............... 20 inches
c. The angle of the motor column is easily
adjusted by removing the Hitch Pin and
changing the Tilt Lock Bracket Pin in the
Five (5) different angle position holes
located on either side of the right or _eft
Transom Mounting Brackets. Each angle
position elevates five {bJ degrees, Try
center hole position first. (See Figure 6),
d. To find the correct angle position, make a
test run at full throttle with your usual
loading in the boat. Always stop motor to
change the Tilt Lock Bracket Pin. The cor-
rect angle position w_t! have your boat
traveling with the bow slightly higher than
the stern, but shoutd not porpoise (bow
risesand felts rapidW and contlnuously}. Be
sure Tilt Lock BraCket Pin is always pushed
completely through both Transom Mount-
ing Brackets and Hitch Pin is secured,
WARNING
If the motor corumn is tilted too far out-
ward, the boat is likely to porpoise or
cavitate at full throttle, which can be
dangerous because a cross wind or a wave
could suddenly deflect the boat into a
dangerous turn. Also, if the motor
column is tilted too far inward, the bow
of the boat will dig in, which can be
dangerous when crossing a wake or in
rough water. DO not run motor in the
storage position. (,See View f and 2,
Figure 4),
e. Secure motor to boat with Safety Chain.
Chain is not included with motor.

OPERATION
8. 2-CYCLE ENGINE FUEL MIXTURE
Use a good grade of regular gasoline. {See mix-
ing table below.)
CAUTION
Always use BIA certified TC-W oil in the
50:1 ratio. Faiture to do so may result in
excessive spark plug fouling, piston
scoring, or bearing failure. Do not under
any circumstances, use multigrade, such as
! 0W-30, or other automobile oils.
If BIA certified oil is not available, use
an SAE 30 or 40 2-cycle or outboard oil.
We reserve the right to refuse warranty on
parts which are damaged when using
improper fuels or lubricants.
WARNING
Gasoline is hrghly flammable. Always mix
in well ventilated area, Do not fill tank
with motor running, nor near any flame
or while smoking. Be sure vent screws
and filler caps on tanks are finger tighte-
ned when transporting gasoline in the
trunk of your automobile to prevent
explosion.

10. STOPPING PROCEDURE
To stop engine, move throttle lever to full
"Stop" position. {See Figure 7).
WARNING
In case of an Emergency, the engine can
be stopped by moving the Choke Lever to
Full Choke Position.
If the motor will not be operated for a
persod of time, if st is to be removed from
the boat, or if st is to be tilted up, we
recommend the following practice to
prevent spillage from the carburetor
throat and bowl and to prevent gum
formations in the carburetor during
storage:
1. Close fuet shut-off valve and air
vent screw at fuel filler cap,
2. Allow motor to run at idling speed
untd it stops of its own accord,
indicating the carburetor has run
