1. Safety Precautions • This manual describes the engine. For its mounting and control, see the instruction manual provided by model boat manufacturer. • This engine is designed for model boat use. If it is used for any other purpose, we cannot be responsible for its reliability, safety and any laws/regulations in the country.
2. Gasket (T2075-13150) 3. Carburetor (580349001) 4. Air-funnel (848ES08300) 5. Spacer (1142-83110) 6. Screw (0263-30555) G300PUM CAUTION Make sure that gasket and carburetor are mounted as described in fig.1. The engine does not start if carburetor is mounted upside down position.
3. Engine Mounting Make sure that the engine is to be mounted according to the instruction manual provided by model boat manufacturer. In case such instruction manual is not available, make sure that the engine should be mounted at least by 4 points both at engine's PTO side and recoil starter side. [ Note ] 1) Be sure to set flat washers or metal plates on the reverse side of the mount to prevent bolts from sinking into the mount.
4. Screw-Propeller The exhaust system (e.g., muffler) is not equipped with this engine as standard. When you select the exhaust system, check the engine speed (rpm) when the maximum output is generated by using the exhaust system you are going to select. And then decide the appropriate screw-propeller that would meet such engine speed (rpm) that the exhaust system requires.
5. Fuel • Mixed gasoline (octane over 90) and high grade 2 cycle engine oil (mixing use type; JASO:FC grade or ISO: LEGC grade) at mixing ratio 25 : 1. • The mixing ratio is according to the oil recommendation. [ NOTE ] 1) Gasoline may contain maximum of 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or up to 15% MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl ether).
6. Starting ● How to start a. Put fuel into the fuel tank. b. While holding the equipment, pull out the starter rope swiftly. c. In cold-starting, when the engine doesn't start. Partially choke the air-intake of carburetor by finger to make engine fire. 7.
8. Carburetor Adjustment The carburetor is provided with 3 adjust screws they may need a little adjustment depending on the temperature, atmospheric pressure (altitude), etc. of the area where the engine is used. Start the engine without making any adjustments. Make readjustments only when the engine shows any mal-running.

8. Carburetor Adjustment Idle Screw: Turning this screw clockwise increases the idling R.P.M. Turning it counterclockwise decreases the idling R.P.M Low Speed needle: This is the fuel adjust screw (not the air screw). Turning this needle clockwise makes the mixture gas leaner and turning it counterclockwise makes it richer. Set this needle at a position which is 1/4 open from best mixture (maximum R.P.M.) position.
9. Engine Break-In No specific break-in is required. The engine is gradually broken-in as it is used and the output is also gradually increased. For checking the whole conditions of the boat, it may be better to operate the engine at slow RPM for 1/3 tank and mid-high RPM for 2/3 tank. 10.
