2004 Johnson 8 hp R4 RL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

OIL
FUEL SYSTEMS
Your 4-stroke engine requires oil in the crankcase.
Evinrude/Johnson
ultra    4-Stroke   synthetic
WARNING
blend oil is recommended for this outboard en-
gine. It allows for extended oil change intervals and
is best for high load applications. Evinrude/Johnson
ultra 4-Stroke synthetic blend oil delivers ultra vis-
cosity stability, sludge protection, friction reducing
properties, and superior corrosion protection.
If your motor is equipped with a quick-dis-
connect fuel hose, disconnect the fuel hose
from the motor and from the fuel tank when
the motor  is not being used  for a period of
time. Disconnecting the hose will avert fuel
leaks in the hose or at the engine.
If Evinrude/Johnson ultra 4-Stroke synthetic blend
oil   is   unavailable,   you    may   use   Evinrude®/
Johnson® 4-Stroke outboard oil. This oil provides
excellent wear and corrosion resistance under nor-
mal operating conditions. For your engine’s oil ca-
pacity, refer to Engine Specifications.
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution   hoses in the boat
must deliver fuel at the rate of flow needed by the
engine.  Minimum  inside  diameter  of  fuel   hoses
must be 5/16 in. (8 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those
that  include   antisiphon   valves  and   filter/primer
units, may have restrictions that will not allow the
engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient fuel under all
conditions. This can result in a loss of performance
and  possible  engine  damage.  If  a  performance
problem exists, see your DEALER.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this recommenda-
tion could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-
related failure occurs.
ADDITIVES
IMPORTANT: Only use fuel additives approved by
Bombardier for your outboard. Use of other fuel ad-
ditives  can  result  in  poor  performance  or  engine
damage.
To  avoid  difficulty  when  restarting,  never  run  the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
Evinrude/Johnson  2+4®   fuel  conditioner   will
help prevent gum and varnish deposits from form-
ing  in  fuel  system  components  and  will  remove
moisture from the fuel system. It can be used con-
tinuously  and  should  be  used  during  any  period
when your engine is not being operated on a regu-
lar basis. Its use will reduce spark plug fouling, fuel
system icing, and fuel system component deteriora-
tion.
