Important Information

IMPORTANT DAILY INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE
Any outboard mounted on the boat must have the mounting hardware
inspected and checked to ensure that the hardware has not become loose. A
decal on the transom bracket reminds the owner to check the fasteners
securing the outboard to the transom before each use.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Lack of oil pressure in the system can cause severe internal engine damage
during start‑up. Prime the oil injection pump on new or rebuilt engines or after
performing maintenance on the oiling system.
Refer to Outboard Installation ‑ Priming the Oil Injection Pump for
instructions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Do not use premixed gas and oil in this engine. The engine automatically
receives extra oil during engine break‑in. Use a fresh supply of the
recommended gasoline during engine break‑in and after engine break‑in.
OIL RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Oil
OptiMax Oil or Premium Plus TC‑W3 is a higher grade oil that provides
increased lubrication and extra resistance to carbon buildup when used with
good or varying grades of gasoline.
