INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
FUEL AND OIL PRIMING

Break-In Oiling

IMPORTANT:
DO NOT add oil in the fuel tank
on Evinrude E-TEC models.
The Engine Management Module (EMM) auto-
matically supplies extra oil to the engine during
the first two hours of operation above 2000 RPM.
Follow these steps for outboard set-up:
•
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to make
sure the break-in program has been started.
Refer to Oil Control Settings on p. 98.
•
The oil tank should be filled and the oil level
marked for reference.
IMPORTANT:
The operator must monitor the oil
tank level to confirm oil consumption. This may
require several hours of operation above idle.

Oil Supply Priming

WARNING
Always use caution while working around
machinery with moving parts. The follow-
ing set-up procedures require running
tests that are performed with the out-
board's motor cover removed.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to make sure
the EMM is programmed for the type of oil being
used.
Start the outboard and use the oil priming function
in the software for a minimum of 90 seconds to
make sure the system is completely primed.
