WARNING
Evinrude/Johnson  XD100,  Evinrude   Direct
Injection, or  Evinrude/Johnson XD25™  out-
board oils are recommended  for use in your
Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
Evinrude/Johnson brand  oils are formulated
to give  best engine  performance while con-
trolling piston  and combustion  chamber de-
posits,  providing   superior  lubrication,   and
ensuring maximum spark plug life.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100  oil is  preferred
for your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. It is for-
mulated  with  special  additives  for  cleaner
burning  and  lower  consumption. This  syn-
thetic blend oil also provides superior lubrica-
tion and maintains top performance.
For added protection  and cost reduction, an
authorized dealer can program your Evinrude
E-TEC outboard EMM to  cut normal oil con-
sumption   in  half   using  Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 as compared to using a conventional
oil.  Only  an  authorized  Evinrude  dealer
can program your outboard for this bene-
fit.
Gasoline  is  extremely  flammable  and
highly  explosive  under  certain  condi-
tions.  Follow  the  instructions   in  this
section explicitly. Improper handling  of
fuel  could  result in  property  damage,
serious injury or death.
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion haz-
ard. All parts in  the fuel system should
be inspected frequently and replaced  if
signs  of  deterioration  or  leakage  are
found.  Inspect  the   fuel  system  each
time you  refuel, each time  you remove
the engine cover and annually.
Follow   these  instructions   to   ensure
safety when handing fuel:
•  Always turn off the engine before fuel-
ing.
Never  permit  anyone  other  than  an
adult to refill the fuel tank.
Do not fill  the fuel tank all  the way to
the top  or fuel  may overflow  when it
expands due to heating by the sun.
If Evinrude/Johnson XD100, Evinrude  Direct
Injection, or Evinrude/Johnson XD25 oils are
not available, you must use an oil that meets
NMMA TC-W3 certification standards.
•  Remove portable fuel  tanks from  the
boat before fueling.
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
Do not  smoke, or allow  open flames,
or  sparks  or  use  electrical   devices
such as cellular phones in the vicinity
of a fuel leak or while fueling.
IMPORTANT: If  your EMM has  been pro-
grammed  for  Evinrude/Johnson   XD100,
DO NOT use any other oil unless in an emer-
gency. If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is tempo-
rarily unavailable, a one-time-only use of an
oil  that  meets   NMMA  TC-W3  certification
