  • Page 2 If there is any question concerning the manual, please consult your local PARSUN dealer.  Data, illustrations or explanations in this Owner’s Manual do not constitute base for any legal claim against our company.
  • Page 3 Engine Identification Numbers Outboard motor serial number The outboard motor serial number is marked on the label. The label can be found on the bracket left assembly or on the upper part of the bracket swivel. Record your outboard motor serial number in the spaces provided to assist you in ordering spare parts from your dealer or for reference in case your outboard motor is stolen.
  • Page 4 Engine serial number The engine serial number is carved on the aluminum casting of engine. Engine serial number as follows: Manufacturer’s Declaration This outboard motor complies with the requirements of Directive 2003/44/EC in relation to the exhaust and noise emissions. The following installation and maintenance instructions, if applied, guarantee that the outboard motor will remain in compliance with: 1.
  • Page 5 High Altitude Warning Operation at High Altitude The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air fuel ratio decrease. Outboard motor output will be reduced. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine.
  • Page 6 WARNING Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance. When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 609.6 meters (2,000 feet) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. If leaded gasoline is usually used, engine valves and related parts should be inspected after every 100 hours of operation.
  • Page 16: Propeller Selection

    Engine oil: Recommended engine oil: 4-stroke outboard motor oil SAE10W30 and SAE10W40(1.6L). WARNING: Do not start the engine when the oil level is low. Serious damage might occur.  Always check the oil level before starting the engine.  CAUTION: All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the factory without engine oil.
  • Page 17: 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 dealers. 1. 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 18: Mounting Height

    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. https://www.boat-manuals.com/...
  • Page 19: Clamping The Outboard Motor

    2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor 1. Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine vibration. CAUTION: Outboards that use clamp bracket screws alone are INSUFFICIENT to properly and safely secure the outboard to the Transom.
  • Page 20: Breaking In Engine

    3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your dealer. WARNING: Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers inappropriate. After tightening, test running the engine and check their tightness. 2.2 Breaking in engine Your new engine requires a period of breaking to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly. CAUTION Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine Damage.
  • Page 21: Pre-Operation Checks

    2.3 Pre-operation checks Fuel ·Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip. ·Make sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes. ·Check fuel line connections to be sure they are tight. ·Be sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not twisted or flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects.
  • Page 22: Filling Fuel

    2. Check the oil level using the dipstick 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. 1.
  • Page 23: Starting Engine

    2.5 Starting engine 1. Connect fuel joints securely after loosing the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap (2 or 3 turns). 2. Connect fuel joints securely and squeeze the primer pump with the outlet end up until you feel it become firm (if equipped the fuel joint).
  • Page 24 3. Place the gear shift lever in neutral. NOTE: The start-in-gear protection device prevents the engine from starting except when in neutral. Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop switch.
  • Page 25 4. Place the throttle grip in the “START” position (manual start). Turn the main switch to “ON” (Electric start). 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 26 5. 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. Turn the main switch to “START” (start), and hold it for a maximum or 5 seconds (Electric start). 6.
  • Page 27: Warm Up Engine

    2.6 Warm up engine 1. After starting the engine, place the gear shift lever in neutral. For approximately the first 3 minutes after starting, warm up the engine by operating at one fifth throttle or less. Otherwise, it will shorten engine life. NOTE: If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.
  • Page 28: 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 29: 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 30: Tiller

    2.8 Tiller 1. Change direction To change direction, move the tiller handle to the left or right as necessary. 2. Change speed Turn the grip counterclockwise to increase speed and clockwise to decrease speed. 3. Throttle indicator The throttle indicator is on the throttle grip. The fuel consumption curve on the throttle indicator shows the relative amount of fuel consumed for each throttle position.
  • Page 31 4. Throttle friction adjuster The throttle friction adjuster is on the tiller handle, which provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise. When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster to maintain the desired throttle setting.
  • Page 32: Stopping Engine

    2.9 Stopping engine NOTE: Before stopping the engine, first let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or low speed. Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended. 1. Push and hold the engine stop button until the engine comes to a complete stop. NOTE: If the outboard motor is equipped with an engine stop switch lanyard, the engine can also be stopped by pulling the lanyard and removing the lock plate from the engine stop switch.

  • Page 39: Warning Indicators And Solutions

    2.12 Warning indicators and solutions The engine equips oil pressure warning indicator and water temperature warning indicator. If the oil pressure becomes too low (insufficient engine oil) or too high (too much engine oil) when engine speed is over 2200rpm, the oil pressure warning indicator will be activated, and the engine will enter into the protection status, which limits the rpm.
