WARNING
Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply with 2+4 fuel con-
ditioner during the last hours of operation to ensure
proper stabilization, following instructions on the
container for mixture. Be sure to run the engine
long enough for the treated fuel to reach the en-
gine.
Only perform service procedures which are
detailed in this Operator’s Guide. Attempt-
ing to perform maintenance or repair on
your outboard if you are not familiar with
the correct service and safety procedures
could cause injury or death.
WARNING
Tampering with the carburetor to change horse-
power or modify emission levels beyond factory
settings or specifications will void the product war-
ranty.
Prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents. Before starting the engine:
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
10-HOUR INSPECTION
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of pow-
erhead.
After 10 hours of operation, your new engine will be
broken in and its mechanical parts will have seated.
At that time, all systems should be checked and any
adjustments needed should be made.
Remove the propeller if you use a flushing
device.
Your DEALER will perform this 10-hour Inspection

gine Maintenance and Inspection Schedule, 10- To run the engine on a flusher, refer to Flushing.
To avoid difficulty when restarting, never run the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
HOUR INSPECTION for a partial list.
Follow consistent preventive maintenance by hav-
ing your DEALER check and service your engine
once a year or after each 100 hours of operation,
whichever comes first.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
You must protect against natural environmental
conditions that can be damaging to an outboard
motor. Temperature and humidity changes while
your outboard motor is not in use can cause corro-
sion of internal engine parts when they are not pro-
tected. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank and in the
engine will oxidize and weather which can result in
loss of octane and can cause gum deposits in the
fuel system. Your warranty does not cover engine
failure caused by these conditions. We strongly rec-
ommend that you have your DEALER prepare your
outboard for the off-season.
