OIL SYSTEM
Installing the Oil Supply Hose
IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage from lack
of lubrication, make sure you purge the system.
Make sure all connections are airtight. Anytime
the oil supply hose has been disconnected, you
must prime the oil system before reconnecting the
supply hose and operating the engine.
Connect the oil supply hose to the oil inlet fitting on
the motor. Secure with the small clamp (13.8 mm)
from the owner’s kit.
If the oil hoses are disconnected for any reason,
seal them to prevent spillage. Install caps on the oil
fittings to prevent contamination.
You must use an oil tank equipped with a filter, an
oil supply hose, and an oil return hose. The oil sys-
tem must be purged if air is in the oil supply hose.
Refer to Installing the Oil Supply Hose.
Install the oil tank by following the instructions pro-
vided with the unit.

IMPORTANT: Consider the installation location of
the oil tank carefully. The oil tank is vented to the at-
mosphere. To avoid serious powerhead damage,
be sure the oil tank is installed in a location that
does not allow constant exposure to sunlight, rain,
bilge water, or spray. Periodically inspect the oil
tank for evidence of water.
Hold the open end of the oil return hose fitting over
a container. With its outlet end up, squeeze the oil
fill bulb repeatedly until about 8 oz. (250 ml) of oil
have been pumped and the supply hose is purged
of all air.
Filling the Oil Tank
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with recom-
mended outboard lubricant, as specified in Fuel
and Oil. Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: Always keep a supply of oil in the
tank. If you run the tank dry, you MUST purge the
oil system of air before using the engine.
