High Altitude Warning
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air
mass and air fuel ratio decrease. Outboard motor output will be reduced. This is a natural trend
and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At sufficiently high altitudes increased exhaust
emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude
issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, dealer can provide a high
altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting Customer Support.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude
carburetor main jet are listed in the table on the next page.

Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance. When the carburetor has
been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low
altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 609.6 meters (2,000 feet) with a modified
carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For
use at low altitudes, have your dealer return the carburetor to original factory
specifications.

1.2.2 Fueling instructions
Fueling instructions: Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline, If it is not available,
then premium gasoline.
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. If leaded
gasoline is usually used, engine valves and related parts should be inspected after every 100 hours
of operation.
WARNING:
zDo not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of
ignition.
zStop engine before refueling.
zRefuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat.
zDo not overfill the fuel tank.
4

zTake care not to spill gasoline, if gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately.
zTighten the filler cap securely after refueling.
zIf you should swallow some gasoline, inhale gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eye,
get immediate medical attention.
zIf any gasoline spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing
if gasoline spills on it.
zTouch the fuel nozzle to metal components to prevent electrostatic sparks.
CAUTION:
Use only new clean gasoline which has been stored in clean containers and is not contaminated
with water or foreign matter.
Engine oil:
Recommended engine oil: 4-stroke outboard motor oil SAE10W30 and SAE10W40 (0.5L).
WARNING:
zDo not start the engine when the oil level is low. Serious damage might occur.
zAlways check the oil level before starting the engine.
CAUTION:
All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the factory without engine oil.
1.2.3 Propeller selection
The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, as an
incorrect choice could adversely affect performance. The outboard motor is fitted with propeller chosen to
perform well over a range of applications, but there may be uses where a propeller with a different pitch would
be more appropriate. The dealers stock a range of propellers and can advise you and install a propeller on
your outboard that is best suited to your application.
For a greater boat load and a low engine speed, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable. Conversely, a
large-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load as it enables the correct engine speed to be
maintained.

2. Operation
2.1 Installation
Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or which are
asymmetrical, consult your dealer.
1
1.center line (keel line)
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that
the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power
head, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running.
WARNING:
zOverpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with
more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does
not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
zImproper mounting of the outboard motor could result in dangerous conditions and injury.
For permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging
should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be trained by
an experienced person. For portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in
6

0～25mm
(0-1in)
outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your motor.
zThe information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
2.1.1 Mounting height
The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting
height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too low,
the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that
the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it.
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the optimum
mounting height. For further information, consult your dealer or boat manufacturer.

2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor
1. Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for
tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine
vibration.
WARNING:
Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This
could cause loss of control. Make sure the clamp screws are tightened securely. Occasionally check
the screws for tightness during operation.
2. If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped
on your engine, an engine restraint cable or chain
should be used. Attach to a secure mounting point
on the boat to avoid the engine being completely
lost if it accidentally falls off the transom.
8

3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your
dealer.
WARNING:
Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers inappropriate. After tightening, test running the engine and
check their tightness.
2.2 Breaking in engine
Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine
damage.
1.For the first hour of operation:
Run the engine at 2000 r/min or at approximately half throttle.
2.For the second hour of operation:
Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately three-quarter throttle.
3.For the next eight hours of operation:
Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time.
4.Operate the engine normally.

2.3 Pre-operation checks
Fuel
zCheck to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip.
zMake sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes.
zCheck fuel line connections to be sure they are tight.
zBe sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not twisted or
flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects.
Controls
zCheck throttle, shift and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.
zThe controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play.
zLook for loose or damaged connections.
zCheck operation of the starter and stop switches when the outboard motor is in the water.
CAUTION:
zDo not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur.
zCheck the engine and engine mounting.
zLook for loose or damaged fasteners.
zCheck the propeller for damage.
Checking the engine oil level
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).
