X OIL AND FUEL
FILLING THE OIL TANK
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with rec-
ommended outboard lubricant, as specified in
Oil Requirements on page 14. Replace the
filler cap and tighten securely.
Always keep a supply of oil in the tank. If you
run the tank empty, you MUST prime the oil
system before using the engine.
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.
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
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.
IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage from
lack of lubrication, the oil system must be
primed. Make sure the oil supply hose con-
nection is airtight. Anytime the oil supply hose
has been disconnected, you must prime the
oil system to remove any air in the system be-
fore operating the outboard.
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.
Remove portable fuel tanks from the
boat before fueling.
The oiling system must be primed before us-
ing the outboard if:
•
The outboard is new (check with your deal-
er to ensure oil system was primed);
You run completely out of oil;
•
•
•
The oil supply hose is disconnected; or
The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
•
•
•
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.
Squeeze oil primer bulb until steady stream of
oil comes from the supply hose. Connect oil
supply hose to the oil inlet fitting. Secure with
the small clamp (13.8 mm) from owner’s kit.
•
Always work in a well ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: Always use fresh gasoline.
Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of oc-
tane, volatile compounds, and the production
of gum and varnish deposits which can de-
grade the fuel system.
