INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
RUNNING CHECKS
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT perform break-in using a
flushing device. DO NOT start-up or run the
engine out of water. DO NOT leave a running
engine unattended.
During the break-in, check water pump operation
often. Look for a steady stream of water from the
water pump indicator. If the stream of water stops,
shut off the engine to prevent damage. Find and
correct the cause before continuing.
Change the RPM often. Avoid holding a throttle
setting longer than 15 minutes.
Check the crankcase oil level often. Add oil if
needed.
First 10 minutes of operation — Operate engine
in gear at idle only.
Balance of First 2 hours of operation — Oper-
ate in gear below 3500 RPM or 1/2 throttle only.
With easy planing boats, use full throttle to quickly
accelerate boat onto plane. Immediately reduce
throttle to one-half as soon as the boat is on
plane. BE SURE boat remains on plane at this
throttle setting.
Third hour of operation — Run the engine in
gear at various speeds up to 4000 RPM or 3/4
throttle only.
Balance of first 10 hours of operation — Run
the engine in gear at various engine speeds
including full throttle, but remain at full throttle no
longer than 5 minutes.
Change the engine speed every 15 minutes.
DO NOT exceed recommended maximum engine
RPM. Refer to TECHNICAL DATA on p. 16.

Fuel System

Perform running checks of the fuel system by fol-
lowing these steps:
•
Squeeze fuel primer bulb until hard or activate
electric primer. Observe all fuel hoses and con-
nections. Repair any leaks.
•
Start outboard. Visually inspect all oil hoses and
connections and fuel hoses and connections.
Repair any leaks or misrouted hoses.

Emergency Stop Switch

Check emergency stop function. With outboard
running at IDLE, pull safety lanyard from emer-
gency stop switch. Outboard must stop immedi-
ately.
Outboard Controls
Confirm that controls can be easily moved into all
gear and throttle settings. Do not shift outboard
when propeller shaft is not turning.

Start-In-Gear Prevention

WARNING
Make certain that the starter will not oper-
ate when the outboard is in gear. The start-
in-gear prevention feature is required by
the United States Coast Guard to help pre-
vent personal injuries.
Start outboard and shift outboard into FORWARD.
Turn outboard OFF while lever is in FORWARD.
Attempt to restart the outboard. Outboard should
not start.
Pull shift lever back to NEUTRAL and restart out-
board.
Shift remote control lever to REVERSE.
Turn outboard OFF while lever control is in
REVERSE.
Attempt to restart the outboard. Outboard should
not start.
