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 re commend th at on ly an authori zed ser vice sho p per f orm se rvice 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
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.
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.

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.

boat, tighten the clamp screws by
turning their handles.
Al so, tighten the bolts. S e cure
the outboard motor with a rope to
prevent loss overboard.
Note
The rope is not included in the standard
accessories.
Note
It is recommended to install upper
mounting bolts with bolt head at
inside surface of transom. Bolts with
threaded end at inside surface of
transom can cause personal injury.

UNITED STATES AND CANADA:
Us e a ma jor br and o f auto moti ve
unleaded gasoline with a minimum
po s ted octa n e rating of 87. Midgra d e au t o mo t i ve ga sol i ne th a t

recommended.
INTERNATIONAL :
Us e a ma jor br and o f auto moti ve
unleaded gasoline with a minimum
posted octane rating of 91RON.
Au t omotiv e gas o line tha t contai n
fuel injector cleaner are preferred for
added internal engine cleanliness.
Leaded gasoline is accep table 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 :
Wipe up any spilled gasoline
●
immediately.
If the fuel tank is disassembled for
●
cleaning, reassemble carefully.
Imperfect assembly may cause a
fuel leak, possibly leading to fire or
explosion.
Dispose of aged or contaminated
●
gasoline in accordance with local
regulations.

all temperature.
25W-40: may be used at temperatures
above 4˚C (40˚F).
You can also use oils that carry the
API rating of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or
SM. Select the appropriate viscosity,
based on atmospheric temperature,
from the chart below.
Note
Use of engine oils that do not meet
these requirements will result in
reduced engine life, and other engine
problems.
