Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to
ensure quality service, follow the safety procedures provided below.
Fire prevention
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Keep gasoline and all flammable products
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Ventilation
Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If inhaled
in large quantities they may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short time.
When test running an engine indoors (e.g., in
a water tank) be sure to do so where adequate ventilation can be maintained.

Features and benefits
Fuel system
A pressure regulator is built into the vapor separator to obtain compact and simple fuel delivery
structure.
A plastic fuel rail is used to prevent it from corrosion and for light weight.
Fuel discharged from the pressure regulator returns to the vapor separator after cooling down
through the fuel cooler.
The fuel joint is used on the high pressure fuel hose to remove and/or install the intake unit easily.

Features and benefits
Solenoid valve
Just after the engine is stopped, the cooling water supply is also stopped and the heat is conducted
to the vapor separator from the engine, causing birth of many fuel vapor gases.
The vapor gases are fed into the intake silencer to reburn them.
However, many vapor gases are sucked into the combustion chambers, causing a rich air and fuel
mixture, which is difficult to restart the engine.
So the solenoid valve has been used for better restarting engine while the engine is warm.
The solenoid valve stops the vapor gases not to return into the intake silencer.

Variable trolling RPM switch (optional)
This device is an optional equipment for tiller handle model.
The idling and/or trolling rpm can be controlled in the range of 620 through 900 r/min with 50 r/min
interval.
Especially for 620 through 700 r/min, the engine rpm is controlled with 40 r/min interval.
Pushing and holding the switch changes rpm continuously at 50 r/min interval.
If engine rpm reaches to the ends of specified range, the rpm is no longer changed.
CAUTION:
Do not modify the variable trolling RPM switch.
Modification such as wire extension, disassembly, etc., can malfunction for the system and/
or damage the electrical components.
The performance of a boat and outboard
motor will be critically affected by the size
and type of propeller you choose. Propellers
greatly affect boat speed, acceleration,
engine life, fuel economy, and even boating
and steering capabilities. An incorrect choice
could adversely affect performance and
could also seriously damage the engine.
Use the following information as a guide for
selecting a propeller that meets the operating
conditions of the boat and the outboard
motor.
Propeller size
The size of the propeller is indicated on a
propeller blade, on the propeller boss end.

• SKIN – Wash with water.
• EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries generate explosive, hydrogen
gas. Always follow these preventive measures:
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
