Fuel Priming Bulb

A priming bulb is built into the fuel
hose that connects the portable fuel
tank to the outboard motor.
Before operating the outboard mo-
tor, squeeze the priming bulb until it
feels firm. This will ensure that fuel
is supplied to the engine (see page
27).

Fuel Cap Vent Knob

The cap is provided with a vent
knob to seal the portable fuel tank
for carrying it to and from the boat.
Open the vent knob 2 or 3 turns
before operating the outboard mo-
tor (see page 28).

FEATURES

Fuel Gauge

A fuel gauge is built into the cap of
the portable fuel tank (see page 27).

Oil Pressure Indicator Light

The oil pressure indicator light
should remain lit while the engine is
running. The light indicates that oil
pressure is OK (see page 31).

Water Check Tube

Water should flow from the water
check hole while the engine is run-
ning. This shows that water is circu-
lating through the engine cooling
system (see page 32).
