    “PARSUN” dealers stock a range of propellers and can advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your application.
  • Page 14: Operation

    2 Operation 2.1 Installation Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer. center line (keel line) NOTE: During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power head, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.
  • Page 15: Mounting Height

    Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions. For permanently  mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be trained by an experienced person. For portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor.
  • Page 16: Clamping The Outboard Motor

    The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the optimum mounting height. For further information, consult your “PARSUN” dealer or boat manufacturer. 2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely.
  • Page 17: Breaking In Engine

    Attach to a secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the engine being completely lost if it accidentally falls off the transom. 3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your PARSUN dealer.
  • Page 18: Pre-Operation Checks

    2. For the second hour of operation: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately three-quarter throttle. 3. For the next eight hours of operation: Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time. 4.
  • Page 19 Checking the engine oil level 1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted). 2. Check the oil level using the oil level check window to be sure the level falls between the upper and lower marks. Fill with oil if it is below the lower mark, or drain to the specified level if it is above the upper mark.
  • Page 20: Filling Fuel

    Upper level mark Lower level mark WARNING: If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the outboard motor. Otherwise an accident could occur. CAUTION: Do not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur. 2.4 Filling fuel WARNING:...
  • Page 21: Starting Engine

    3. Securely close the cap after filling the tank. Wipe up any spilled fuel. 2.5 Starting engine 1. Loosen the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap. One turn for built-in tank. 2. Open the fuel cock.

Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop switch. WARNING: The engine must be started in neutral otherwise damage to the starter can occur.
  • Page 23 4. Place the throttle grip in the “START” (start) position. 5. Pull out the choke knob fully. NOTE:  It is not necessary to use the choke when starting a warm engine.  If the choke is left in the “START” (start) position while the engine is running, the engine will run poorly or stall.
  • Page 24: Warming Up Engine

    6. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight to crank and start the engine. Repeat if necessary. 7. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to its original position before releasing it. 8.
  • Page 25 If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, stop the engine  and check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is blocked. If the problem cannot be located and corrected, consult your PARSUN dealer. ...
  • Page 26: Shifting

    2.7 Shifting WARNING: Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you. CAUTION: To shift from forward to reverse or vice versa, first close the throttle so that the engine idles (or runs at low speeds). 2.7.1 Forward 1.
  • Page 27: Reverse

    2.7.2 Reverse WARNING: When operating in reverse, go slowly. Do not open the throttle more than half. Otherwise the boat could become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an accident. 1. Place the throttle trip in the fully closed position. 2.
  • Page 28: Tiller

    NOTE: The outboard motor can turn 360° in its bracket (full-pivot system).

  • Page 35: Cruising In Other Conditions

    3. Loose the steering friction adjuster by turning it counterclockwise, and adjust the steering friction according to operator preference. WARNING: If there is too much resistance it could be difficult to steer, which could result in anaccident. 2.12 Cruising in other conditions 2.12.1 Cruising in shallow water The outboard motor can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallow water.
  • Page 36: Cruising In Salt Water

    CAUTION: The cooling water inlet on the lower unit should be not above the surface of the water when setting up for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result. For tilting procedure, see section 2.11. 2.12.2 Cruising in salt water After operating in salt water, wash out the cooling water passages with fresh water to prevent them from becoming clogged with salt deposits.
  • Page 37: Maintenance

    WARNING: Be sure to turn off the engine when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. If you or the owner is not familiar with machine servicing, this work should be done by your PARSUN dealer or other qualified mechanic. CAUTION: If replacement parts are necessary, use only genuine PARSUN parts or parts of the same type and of equivalent strength and materials.
