- 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.

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
