OIL AND FUEL
FILLING THE OIL TANK
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with recommended
outboard lubricant, as specified in OIL REQUIREMENTS
on page 16. Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. Follow the instruc-
tions in this section explicitly. Improper handling of
fuel could result in property damage, serious injury
or death.
Always keep a supply of oil in the tank. If you run the tank
empty, you MUST prime the oil system before using the en-
gine.
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. 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 annu-
ally.
IMPORTANT: The oiling system MUST be primed to avoid
engine damage from a lack of lubrication.
1)
Squeeze oil primer bulb until a steady stream of oil
comes from the supply hose.
2)
Connect oil supply hose to the oil inlet fitting. Secure
with the small clamp (13.8 mm) from owner’s kit.
Follow these instructions to ensure safety when
handing fuel:
•
•
Always turn off the engine before fueling.
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.
1
• Remove portable fuel tanks from the boat before
fueling.
•
•
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.
Always work in a well ventilated area.

NOTICE
Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline
will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile com-
pounds, and the production of gum and varnish
deposits which can degrade the fuel system.
3)
Squeeze oil primer bulb again until no air bubbles ap-
pear in the individual oil lines entering the crankcase.
The oil supply hose connection must be airtight.
4)
Prime the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic soft-
ware or by performing LONG-TERM STORAGE (WIN-
TERIZATION) on page 39.
Minimum Octane
Your outboard is certified to operate on unleaded automo-
tive gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than:

•
The outboard is new – Dealer must prime the oiling sys-
Using unleaded gasoline that contains methyl tertiary butyl
ether (MTBE) is acceptable ONLY if the MTBE content
does not exceed 15% by volume.
