10-HOUR INSPECTION
WARNING
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.
Prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents. Before starting the engine:
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Your Dealer will perform this 10-Hour Inspection at
your request and expense (based on local rates),
according to what your engine needs — refer to En-
gine Maintenance and Inspection Schedule, 10-
Hour Inspection for a partial list.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of pow-
erhead.
Remove the propeller if you use a flushing
device.
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.
IMPORTANT: Provide a water supply to the engine
and start it. Run the engine at idle only.
To run the engine on a flusher, refer to Flushing.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Oil — Start the engine and run it at least five min-
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.
utes to warm the crankcase oil.
Stop the engine and drain the crankcase while the
engine is warm. Refill it with Evinrude/Johnson ultra
4-Stroke
synthetic blend oil. Refer to Crankcase
Oil. Restart the engine and run it for a few minutes
to circulate the fresh oil.
IMPORTANT: It is very important that the bearing
surfaces be coated with clean oil before entering a
period of storage, so be sure you run the engine af-
ter changing the oil.
Stop the engine.
To do the off-season storage preparations yourself,
gather the supplies and perform the following steps:
Spark Plugs — Remove and examine them.
Clean or discard them, if necessary. Refer to Spark
Plugs.

blend oil
Crank the engine for a short burst to distribute the
fogging oil and to drain the water from the water
pump.
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.
Fuel filter(s) — Clean or change.
Ignition, oil, and fuel systems — Check for mis-
placed leads and damaged or deteriorated parts.
Be sure starter solenoid terminal boot and all con-
