2005 Johnson 90 115 140 hp PL4 PX4 X4 CX4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

High motor installations  —  The  trim  tab  might
be above the water when the motor is trimmed out.
Steering effort might increase. Steering effort will
be reduced if you trim the motor in and submerge
the trim tab.
LUBRICATION
Gearcase
Replace gearcase lubricant after first 10 hours of
operation. Check level and condition of lubricant af-
ter next 50 hours of operation. Add lubricant if nec-
essary.
Thereafter, check level and condition of lubricant
every 50 hours. Replace lubricant every 100 hours
of operation or once each season, whichever oc-
curs first. Refill with Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant.
If not available, Hi-Vis™ or other marine gearcase
lube  can  be  used,  however,  long  term  durability
may be affected with continued use. See your Deal-
er.
Dual standard rotation motors  — Move both of
the trim tabs equally and in the same direction.
Dual motors (one counter and one standard ro-
tation)  — Set both trim tabs to the center position.
Throttle Friction
Adjust  throttle  friction  on  your  remote  control  to
maintain its position and prevent unwanted throttle
“creep” under normal operating conditions.
To  adjust,  start  engine  and  move  control  handle
into  FORWARD  throttle  range.  While  underway,
turn adjustment knob clockwise to increase friction.
The  friction  adjustment   is  effective  only   in  the
FORWARD throttle range.
IMPORTANT:  The recommended  gear lubricants
include  special  additives  for  marine  applications.
Do not use automotive gear lubricants, 2-stroke or
4-stroke
engine oil, or any other oil or grease for
gearcase applications.
With motor in normal operating position:
1)
Remove drain/fill plug and lubricant level plug
from side of gearcase and completely drain
gearcase of old lubricant.
2)
Examine  drained  lubricant  for  metal  filings,
milky appearance, or black color with burnt
odor. If old lubricant has any of those charac-
teristics, see your Dealer. If drained lubricant
is in good condition, continue.
3)
Place tube of lubricant in drain/fill hole and fill
slowly until lubricant appears at lubricant lev-
el hole. See Engine Specifications for gear-
case capacity.
