Carbon Monoxide HazardRefuel With Care


Gasoline is extremely flammable,and gasoline vapor can explode.Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the enginestopped. Never smoke neargasoline, and keep other flamesand sparks away.

Refuel carefully to avoid spillingfuel. Avoid overfilling the fueltank.

After refueling, tighten the fillercap securely. If any fuel is spilled,make sure the area is dry beforestarting the engine.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbonmonoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.Breathing carbon monoxide cancause loss of consciousness and maylead to death.

If you run the engine in an area thatis confined, or even partly enclosed,the air you breathe could contain adangerous amount of exhaust gas.

Never run your outboard inside agarage or other enclosure.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

BEFORE OPERATION.

To safely realize the full potential ofthis outboard motor, you need acomplete understanding of itsoperation and a certain amount ofpractice with its controls.

Before operating the outboard motorfor the first time, please review the

on page and thechapter titled

Proper break-in operation allows themoving parts to wear in smoothly forbest performance and long servicelife. Avoid continuous operation at asteady speed.

Run the engine up to a maximum of4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about50% to 80% of maximum throttleopening. Operating at maximum4,000 5,000 rpm should be limitedto 50% of the 60 minutes.

For your safety, do not start or runthe engine in a confined or partlyenclosed area. Your engine’s exhaustcontains poisonous carbon monoxide,a colorless, odorless gas that cancollect rapidly. Breathing carbonmonoxide can cause loss ofconsciousness and may lead to death.

30-second full-throttle bursts are OK,but do not operate the enginecontinuously at full throttle.

Do not run the engine at full throttlefor more than 5 minutes at a time.

For boats that plane easily, bring theboat up on plane, and then reduce thethrottle opening to the recommendedrpm range.

Run the engine up to a maximum of2,000 to 3,000 rpm, which is about10% to 30% of maximum throttleopening. Operating at maximum2,000 3,000 rpm should be limitedto 50% of the 45 minutes.

Run the engine at trolling speed. Usethe minimum throttle openingnecessary to operate the boat at a safetrolling speed.

OPERATION

Excessive trim/tilt angle duringoperation can cause propellerventilation, overheating, and waterpump damage. This type of damageis not covered by the

(p. ).130

If, for example, the outboard motoris tilted excessively or propellerventilation occurs during a sharp turn,the engine may overrev, activatingthe overrev limiter.

The engine is equipped with anoverrev limiter to prevent thepossibility of mechanical damagefrom excessive engine speed.

For rough water conditions or largewaves, slow down to prevent thepropeller from rising out of the water.

For best fuel economy, limit thethrottle opening to 80%. Use thethrottle friction control (p. )to help you hold a steady speed.

When cruising into a high wind, trimthe outboard motor down slightly tolevel the boat and improve stability.With a tail wind, trim the outboardmotor up slightly.

Under normal conditions, the boatwill perform best when theantiventilation plate is level with thewater surface.

It is necessary to trim the angle of theoutboard motor to compensate forchanges in boat load, weightdistribution, water conditions, orpropeller selection.

Refer to the trim meter (p. ) for anindication of whether the outboardmotor is trimmed high or low.

Press the UP or DN (down) side ofthe switch to adjust the angle of theoutboard motor.

You can use the power trim/tiltswitch at any time, whether the boatis underway or stopped.

Use the power trim/tilt switch to trimthe outboard motor for the bestperformance and stability.

If engine speed becomes unstable athigh speed due to activation of theoverrev limiter, reduce speed andcheck the trim angle of the outboardmotor.
