OIL AND FUEL
Remove the engine cover to access the oil tank.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
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.
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.
Remove the filler cap and fill the tank with the recommend-
ed outboard lubricant, as specified in OIL REQUIRE-
MENTS on page 16.
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.
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.
Replace the filler cap and tighten securely. Reinstall the
engine cover.
IMPORTANT: The oil tank capacity is 1.9 liters (2.0
quarts).
Minimum Octane
Your outboard is certified to operate on unleaded automo-
tive gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than:
Priming the Oil System
•
•
90 RON — Outside the U.S.
87 (R+M)/2 AKI — Inside the U.S.
Using unleaded gasoline that contains methyl tertiary butyl
ether (MTBE) is acceptable ONLY if the MTBE content
does not exceed 15% by volume.
The oiling system must be primed before using the out-
board if:
•
The outboard is new (check with your dealer to ensure
oil system was primed);
•
•
You run completely out of oil; or
The outboard is laid down for transportation or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing winterization. Refer
to LONG-TERM STORAGE (WINTERIZATION) on page
35.
