3. EPA pressurized fuel tank
requirements
EQUIPPED FOR UNITED STATES AND
CANADA MODEL
The Environmental Protect ion Agency
(EPA) required integral fuel systems that
are produced after August 1, 2011 for use
with outboard engines to remain fully
sealed (pressurized) up to 7 kPa (1.0 psi).
These tanks may contain the following:
 An air inlet that opens to allow air to
enter as the fuel is drawn out of the
tank.
 An air outlet that opens (vents) to the
atmosphere if pressure exceeds 7 kPa
(1.0 psi). A hissing noise may be heard
as the tank vents to the atmosphere.
This is normal.
 When installing the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap to the right until you hear two
clicks. This signals that the fuel cap is
fully seated. A built-in device prevents
overtightening.
 The fuel tank has a manual vent screw
which should be closed for transporta-
tion and full open for operation and cap
removal.
Since sealed fuel tanks are not openly
vented, they will expand and contract as
the fuel expands and contracts during
heating and cooling cycles of the outside
air. This is normal.
*Please refer to pages 22–24 when using
this fuel tank.

4. Recommended engine oil

Use only high quality 4-stroke engine oil to
insure performance and prolonged engine
life.
Use NMMA FC-W certified 4-stroke engine
oil below.
10W-30: is recommended for use in all
temperature.
You can also use oils that carry the API rat-
ing of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or SM. Select
the appropriate viscosity, based on atmo-
spheric temperature, from the chart below.
10W−40
10W−30
-30 -20 -10 0

CAUTION
The engine oil is drained for shipping from
the factory. Be sure to fill the engine to the
proper level before starting engine. (To
properly fill the engine with oil follow the
instructions in section 10 of this manual)

Note
Use of engine oils that do not meet these
requirements will result in reduced engine
life, and other engine problems.
