Fuel Requirements - BRP Evinrude E15D Operator's Manual

IMPORTANT: Consider the installation loca-
tion of the oil tank carefully. The oil tank is
vented to the atmosphere. To avoid serious
powerhead damage, be sure the oil tank is in-
stalled in a location that does not allow con-
stant exposure to sunlight, rain, bilge water, or
spray. Periodically inspect the oil tank for evi-
dence of water.
Filling the Oil Tank
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with rec-
ommended outboard lubricant, as specified in
Oil Requirements on page 16. Replace the
filler cap and tighten securely. If you run the
tank empty, you MUST prime the oil system
before using the engine.
Priming the Oil System
IMPORTANT: The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a lack of
lubrication.
Prime the oiling system to remove air from
the system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new – Dealer must prime
the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic
software;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run
out of oil;
• The oil supply hose is disconnected; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
1) Squeeze oil primer bulb until a steady
stream of oil comes from the supply hose.
2) Connect oil supply hose to the oil inlet fit-
ting. Secure with the small clamp (13.8
mm) from owner's kit.
