IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop
the engine and check the cooling water intake for obstruction. No obstruction
may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause serious engine
damage.
WARMING UP ENGINE
Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for
three minutes.
Gear Shifting
IMPORTANT: Never shift the outboard into gear unless engine speed is at idle.
Do not shift the outboard into reverse when the engine is not running.
•
Tiller handle models ‑ Your outboard has three gear shift positions to
provide operation: forward (F), neutral (N), and reverse (R). When
shifting, always stop at neutral position and allow the engine speed to
return to idle.
•
Remote control models ‑ Your outboard has three gear shift positions to
provide operation: forward (F), neutral (N), and reverse (R). When
shifting, always stop at neutral position and allow the engine speed to
return to idle.
•
Always shift the outboard into gear with a quick motion.
•
After shifting the outboard into gear, advance the remote control lever or
