Periodic maintenance and
adjustment are important to keep
the outboard motor in the best
operating condition. Service and
inspect according to the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
WARNING
• Shut off the engine before
performing any
maintenance. If the engine
must be run, make sure the
area is well ventilated. Never
run the engine in an
enclosed or confined area.
Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas;
exposure can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead
to death.
• Be sure to reinstall the
engine cover, if it was
removed, before starting
the engine.
NOTICE
• If the engine must be run,
make sure there is water at
least 100 mm (4 in) above the
anticavitation plate,
otherwise the water pump
may not receive sufficient
cooling water, and the engine
will overheat.
• Use only Honda Genuine parts
or their equivalents for
maintenance or repair. The
use of replacement parts
which are not of equivalent
quality may damage the
outboard motor.
