Fuel System Priming

Vent Line Clamp
In compliance with Code of Federal Regulations,
49 CFR §173.220, all outboards using a fuel
vapor separator must be shipped with a vent line
clamp installed. This clamp must be removed
before priming the fuel system or starting the out-
board for the first time.
Failure to remove the clamp may
IMPORTANT:
cause fuel starvation and poor running qualities.
Priming the Fuel System
WARNING
Fuel vapors are highly flammable. Perform
the following procedure in a well ventilated
area. Extinguish all smoking materials and
make certain no ignition sources are
present.
Insert the fuel supply hose from the fuel tank into a
suitable container. Squeeze the fuel primer bulb or
activate the boat-mounted electric fuel primer until
fuel flows from the fuel hose.
Once fuel flow is observed, connect fuel supply
hose from fuel tank to hose fitting on outboard.
Secure hose with Oetiker clamp.
Use the primer to fill the outboard's fuel system.

Observe all fuel lines, both in the boat and on the
outboard. Repair any fuel leaks.
Failure to check for fuel leaks could allow a
leak to go undetected, resulting in fire or
explosion and may cause personal injury
or property damage.
The high-pressure fuel circuits and injectors will
prime as the outboard is cranked with the starter.

Oil Requirements

IMPORTANT:
mendations could void the outboard warranty if a
lubrication-related failure occurs.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, XD50, or XD30 out-
board oil is recommended for use in Evinrude E-
TEC outboards.

Evinrude/Johnson XD100 outboard oil is preferred
for use in Evinrude E-TEC models.
If these oils are not available, you must use an oil

Engine Lubricant Below 32°F (0°C)
If the outboard will be operated in temperatures
below freezing (32°F, 0°C), use Evinrude/Johnson
XD100.
