  • Page 3 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.

    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 dealer. 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 17: Mounting Height

    outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor. The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination. 2.1.1 Mounting height The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion.

  • Page 18: 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. WARNING: Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This could cause loss of control.

  • Page 19: 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 break-in 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 20: Pre-Operation Checks

    2.3 Pre-operation checks Fuel Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip. Make sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes. Check fuel line connections to be sure they are tight. Be sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not twisted or flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects.

    8. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to its original position before releasing 9. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position. CAUTION: When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up. If the engine does not start on the first try, repeat the procedure.

  • Page 28: Shifting

    CAUTION: If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, stop the engine and check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is blocked. If the problem cannot be located and corrected, consult your dealer.

  • Page 29: Reverse

    2. Move the gear shift lever quickly and firmly from neutral to forward. 2.7.2 Reverse WARNING: When operating in reverse, go slowly. Do not open the throttle more than half. Otherwise the boat could become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an accident. 1.

  • Page 30: Tiller

    2. Move gear shift lever quickly and firmly from neutral to reverse. NOTE: The outboard motor can turn 360° in its bracket (full-pivot system). The boat can also be backed up by simply turning the outboard motor 180°. 2.8 Tiller 1.

  • Page 35: Tilting Up

    Tilting up and down If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce corrosion. WARNING: Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
  • Page 36 2. Tighten the steering friction adjuster by turning it clockwise to prevent the motor from turning freely. 3. Tighten the air vent screw. On models equipped with a fuel joint, disconnect the fuel line form the outboard motor.

  • Page 37: Tilting Down

    4. Close the fuel cock. 5. Hold the rear handle and tilt the engine up fully until the tilt support lever automatically locks. 2.11.2 Tilting down Slightly tilt the outboard motor up.
  • Page 38 Slowly tilt the outboard motor down while pulling the tilt support bar lever up. Loose the steering friction adjuster by turning it counterclockwise, and adjust the steering friction according to operator preference. WARNING: If there is too much resistance it could be difficult to steer, which could result in an accident.

  • Page 39: Cruising In Other Conditions

    2.12 Cruising in other conditions 2.12.1 Cruising in shallow water The outboard motor can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallow water. WARNING: The tilt lock mechanism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used. Run the boat at the lowest possible speed to avoid the outboard motor being lifted out of the water, resulting in loss of control.

  • Page 40: Maintenance

    3. Maintenance While using the outboard motor, the periodic maintenance is necessary for you to ensure its performance. WARNING: Be sure to turn off the engine when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. This work should always be done by a qualified mechanic or your authorized dealer.

  • Page 41: Cleaning And Adjusting Spark Plug

    3.2 Cleaning and adjusting spark plug You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If necessary, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type. Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge;...

  • Page 42: Inspecting Idling Speed

    WARNING: Check for fuel leakage regularly. If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel system must be repaired by a qualified mechanic. 2. Check the fuel filter periodically. If foreign matter is found in the filter, replace it. CAUTION: The fuel filter is one piece, disposable spare part. 3.4 Inspecting idling speed A diagnostic tachometer should be used for this procedure.

  • Page 43: Changing Engine Oil

    CAUTION: Correct idling speed inspection is only possible if the engine is fully warmed up. If not warmed up fully, the idle speed will measure higher than normal. If you have difficulty verifying the idle speed, or the idle speed requires adjustment, consult a dealer or other qualified mechanic. 3.5 Changing engine oil WARNING: Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine.

  • Page 44: Checking Wiring And Connectors
