Severe engine damage may result if the motor is operat- ed continuously in the presence of air- borne water spray.
EMU00176 MOUNTING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous condi- tions such as poor handling, loss of con- trol, or fire hazards. Observe the follow- ing: 8 The information presented in this sec- tion is intended as reference only. It is possible provide complete...
Page 42
Overpowering a boat may cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufac- turer.
While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, avail- able from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably the critical piston-ring- land area, and fuel system components.
EMU00204 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the out- board motor. Otherwise, an accident could occur. Do not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur.
EMU00209 Controls 8 Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine. 8 The controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play. 8 Look for loose or damaged connec- tions. 8 Check operation of the starter and stop switches when the outboard motor is in the water.
EMU00224 BREAKING IN (RUNNING IN) ENGINE Your new engine requires a period of break-in (running-in) to allow mating sur- faces of moving parts to wear-in evenly. Correct break-in (running-in) will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life. Failure to follow the break-in (running-in) procedure may result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage.
EMU01197 STARTING ENGINE 8 Before starting the engine, make sure that the boat is tightly moored and that you can steer clear of any obstructions. Be sure there are no swimmers in the water near you. 8 When the air vent screw is loosened, gasoline (petrol) vapor will be released.
Page 48
EMU00247* PROCEDURE FOR REMOTE CONTROL MODEL 4) Place the remote control lever in the Neutral position. NOTE: The start-in-gear protection device pre- vents the engine from starting except when in Neutral. 701015 5) Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg.

Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If the cause for the low oil pressure warning indicator cannot be found, consult your Yamaha dealer. 8 A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling passages.
EMU00261 SHIFTING Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you. 701034** To change the shifting position from for- ward to reverse or vice-versa, close the throttle first so that the engine idles (or runs at low speeds).
EMU00273 STOPPING ENGINE Let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or low speed first. Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended. EMU00276 1) Turn the main switch to “OFF”. START 2) If the fuel joints are provided, discon- nect the fuel line from the motor after stopping the engine.
EMU01412 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine.
ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU01401 Power Trim/Tilt Model 8 Be sure all people are clear of the out- board motor when adjusting trim/tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive 701034* unit and clamp bracket. 8 Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time.
Page 55
EMU00282 Bow Up When the boat is on plane, a bow-up atti- tude result in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. When trimmed out, the boat may have more tendency to steer to one side or the other.
EMU01200 TILTING UP/DOWN If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion.
