GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTICE : DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION/Note
Before installing, operating or otherwise handling your outboard motor, be sure to thoroughly read and understand this Owner's Manual and carefully follow all of the instructions. Of particular importance is information preceded by the words "DANGER," "WARNING," "CAUTION," and "Note." Always pay special attention to such information to ensure safe operation of the outboard motor at all times.
!
Failure to observe will result in severe personal injury or death, and possibly property damage.
!
Failure to observe could result in severe personal injury or death, or property damage.
!
Failure to observe could result in personal injury or property damage.
Note
This instruction provides special information to facilitate the use or maintenance of the outboard motor or to clarify important points.
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
The Emergency Stop Switch will stall the outboard motor when the stop switch tether is pulled off. This stop switch tether can be attached to the operator of the outboard motor to minimize or prevent injuries from the propeller in case the operator falls overboard.
We highly recommend use of the Emergency Stop Switch tether.
!
Accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch (such as the tether being pulled out in heavy seas) could cause passengers to lose their balance and even fall overboard, or it could result in loss of power in heavy seas, strong currents, or high winds. Loss of control while mooring is another potential hazard.
To minimize accidental activation of the Emergency Stop Switch, the 500 mm (20 inch.) stop switch tether is coiled and can extended to a full 1,300 mm (51 inch.).
SAFE OPERATION OF BOAT
As the operator/driver of the boat, you are responsible for the safety of those aboard and those in other boat around yours, and for following local boating regulations. You should be thoroughly knowledgeable on how to correctly operate the boat, outboard motor, and accessories. To learn about the correct operation and maintenance of the outboard motor, please read through this manual carefully. It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take evasive action should he or she see a power boat heading in his /her direction, even at a slow speed. Therefore, when your boat is in the immediate vicinity of people in the water, the outboard motor should be shifted to neutral and shut off.
!
SERIOUS INJURY IS LIKELY IF A PERSON IN THE WATER MAKES CONTACT WITH A MOVING BOAT, GEAR HOUSING, PROPELLER, OR ANY SOLID DEVICE RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO A BOAT OR GEAR HOUSING.
SERVICING, REPLACEMENT PARTS & LUBRICANTS
We recommend that only an authorized service shop perform service or maintenance on this outboard motor. Be sure to use genuine parts, genuine lubricants, or recommended lubricants.
MAINTENANCE
As the owner of this outboard motor, you should be acquainted with correct maintenance procedures. It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks and to ensure that all lubrication and maintenance instructions are complied with for safe operation. Please comply with all instructions concerning lubrication and maintenance. You should take the engine to an authorized dealer or service shop for periodic inspection at the prescribed intervals.
Correct periodic maintenance and proper care of this outboard motor will reduce the chance of problems and limit overall operating expenses.
MOUNTING
Outboard motor mounting must be performed by trained service person(s) using lift or hoist with sufficient capacity.

INSTALLATION
1. Mounting the outboard motor on boat
|
! |
|
Most boats are rated and certified |
|
in terms of their maximum allowable |
|
horsepower, as shown on the boat’s |
|
certification plate. Do not equip your boat |
|
with an outboard motor that exceeds this |
3 |
limit. If in doubt, contact your dealer. |
Do not operate the outboard motor until it |
|
|
has been securely mounted on the boat |
|
in accordance with the instructions below. |
|
|
|
Position ... Above keel line |
|
Set engine at center of boat. |
|
Center of Boat |
Boat Transom
Transom matching
Be sure that the anti ventilation plate of the outboard motor is below the water surface when running with the throttle wide open.
If the above condition cannot be met due to the shape of the bottom of your boat, please consult your authorized dealer.
Bottom of hull
5-25mm
(0.2-1”)
Anti Ventilation Plate
●Before beginning the running test, check that the boat with maximum capacity loading floats on the water in a proper attitude. Check the position of water surface on the driveshaft housing. If the water surface is near the bottom cowling, in high waves, water may enter the engine cylinders.
●Incorrect outboard motor mounting height or existence of underwater object(s), such as hull bottom design, bottom surface conditions or underwater accessories, can cause production of water spray possibly reaching the engine through an opening of the bottom cowling during cruising. Exposing engine to such conditions for extended periods can lead to severe engine damage.
MF, EF, EP type
To attach the outboard motor to the boat, tighten the clamp screws by turning their handles.
Also, tighten the bolts. Secure the outboard motor with a rope to prevent loss overboard.
Note
The rope is not included in the standard accessories.

sealed between the bolts and transom board holes before tightening the bolts.
2. Be sure to tighten mounting bolt nuts to the specified torque.
(30 Nm(3.0kgf)13ft·lb)
!
●Mounting outboard motor without following this manual can lead to unsafe conditions such as poor maneuverability, going out of control or fire disaster.
●Loose clamp screws and/or mounting bolts can lead to coming off or displacement of outboard motor, possibly going out of control or causing serious personal injury. Be sure that fasteners are tightened to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf)13ft·lb). Check fasteners for tightness from time to time.
●Be sure to use outboard mounting fasteners included in outboard motor package delivered or their equivalents in terms of size, material, quality and strength.
Tighten fasteners to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf)13ft·lb). Test cruise
to check if fasteners are tightened securely.
●Outboard motor mounting must be performed by trained service person(s) using lift or hoist with sufficient capacity.

PRE-OPERATING PREPARATIONS
1. Gasoline and engine oil
Required Gasoline types
UNITED STATES AND CANADA:
Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating of 87. Midgrade automotive gasoline that contain fuel injector cleaner are preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is not recommended.
INTERNATIONAL :
Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating of 91RON. Automotive gasoline that contain fuel injector cleaner are preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is acceptable in areas where unleaded gasoline is not available.
Note
Use of low-quality gasoline results in a short engine life as well as starting difficulties and other engine problems. We recommend use for Fuel stabilizer.
!
Do not fill the fuel tank over capacity. The rise of gasoline temperature may cause gasoline to expand which, if overfilled, may leak through an air vent screw when it is open. Leaking gasoline is a dangerous fire hazard.
!
Consult an authorized dealer for details on handling of gasoline, if necessary.
Gasoline and its vapors are very flammable and can be explosive.
When carrying a fuel tank containing gasoline :
●Close the air vent screw of fuel tank cap, or gasoline vapor will be emitted through the air vent screw, creating a fire hazard.
● Do not smoke. |

When or before refueling :
●Stop the engine, and do not start the engine during refueling.
●Do not smoke.
●Be careful not to overfill fuel tank. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately.
When or before cleaning the gasoline tank :
●Dismount fuel tank from the boat.
●Place the fuel tank away from every source of ignition, such as sparks or open flames.
●Do the work outdoors or in well ventilated area.
●Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately.
After cleaning gasoline tank :
