BEFORE OPERATION
Check the emergency stop
●
switch for proper operation.
Start the engine (P.57). Make
sure the engine stops by
pulling the emergency stop
switch clip from the
emergency stop switch.
Maintenance Inspection
Check the engine oil level (P.
●
93). Running the engine with
a low oil level can cause
engine damage. Overfilling
the engine can cause the
engine to smoke or have oil
leaks which can cause engine
damage.
Check to be sure the propeller
●
is undamaged and the castle
nut is secured with the cotter
pin (P.112).
Check that the anodes are
●
securely attached to the stern
bracket and the gear case (P.
54
111) and are not excessively
worn. The anodes help protect
the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Make sure the tool kit is
●
onboard (P.87). Replace any
missing items.
Check the fuel level in the fuel
●
tank (P.104).
Check that the battery fluid is
●
between the upper and lower
levels, and the battery leads
are connected securely.
Check the fuel filter for water
●
or sediment accumulation (P.
107).
