Tiller Control Outboards
After Winterization – All Outboards
1)
Advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE
position. Start the outboard. Outboard runs
at slow idle speed.
1)
After the outboard shuts itself off, turn key
switch OFF. (For tiller models, remove
emergency stop clip / key switch.) Do not
start the outboard again after winterization
is completed.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water
and detach garden hose. Grease propeller
shaft splines with recommended lubricant,
and re-install propeller.
IMPORTANT: When winterizing is finished,
leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead. If
equipped, disconnect the speedometer pick-
up at the upper connection and blow all water
out of the hose using air pressure of 25 psi or
less. Reconnect speedometer pickup after all
the water has been removed.
Tiller Control – Typical
2)
After outboard runs for about 15 seconds,
move throttle grip to IDLE position. Out-
board continues to run at slow idle speed.
3)
Top off oil tank.
Extra engine oil is used during the winteriza-
tion procedure. Some excess oil may appear
on the skeg below the gearcase area. This is
normal.
Avoid potential oil stains by placing a shop
towel or suitable container under the propel-
ler and skeg for the duration of the storage.
3)
4)
After outboard runs for another 15 sec-
advance throttle grip to HALF
THROTTLE position. Outboard will accel-
erate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
onds,
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself
OFF automatically (less than one minute).
