FOREWORD
You are to be congratulated on your selection of this outboard motor which will
give you years of satisfactory service. The fine materials and high standards
of workmanship used in the manufacture of this motor assure you of durability and
Iasting performance.
Read through this manual carefully before operating the motor. You will find
complete operating instructions and recommendations for the care and protection
of your motor. Extend the same care to this motor,vou would give to a new
automobile or other personal prcrperty of even less value anct
it wlll be a constant
source of satisfaction to you. Care in handling will prevent scratches and
niclis which will mar the appearance.
operating instructions are concise and easy to follow. even for the beginner'.
if you have never operated an outboard motor, it wili be helpful to practice
step by step procedure a few times before putting the motor in actual opera-
Outboarding is great sport. Always remember. lrowever, that you have lriends

OPTRAIIONOF
ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
simple means is provided for adjusting the motor
a vertical position to make allowance for angle
the transom.
To accomplish this adjustntent, tilt the motor slightly
(gear shift lever must bein FORWARDor NEUTRAL) ,
then lift up on angle adjustment lever (see item 5,
Figure 5) and move it ahead or back in the slots in
the stern bracket so that motor is in a vertical posi-
tion when lower unit rests against thelever. Onsome
boats it may be necessary to correct angle adjust-
ment to maintain motor in a vertical position when
changing load from one to more passengers. Always
try to arrange load so boat runs on an even keel.
Transom (stern) angles may vary somewhat; how-
ever, range of adjustment is sufficient to accommo-
date angles found in most boats.
GEARSHIFI
The motor is equipped with gear shift control to
provide operation of the motor in Forward, Neutral,
or Reverse by means of a gearshift Iever (Figure 4)
located on side of motor below the tank, Move the
lever as far as possible toward front of tank for
"Forward" motion of boat -- toward rear of tank as
far as possible for "Reverse" motion of boat. The
intermediate position is "Neutral" or out of gear.
When motor is not running the internal gear shift mech-
anism may be in such a position that gear shift lever
cannot be moved from "Neutral" into "Forward" or
"Reverse" --- DO NOT FORCE. This may be reme-
died by pulling on the startercordwiththrottlecontrol
at STOP to turn gears slightlyuntilthegearshiftlever
will move to desired position. Extreme care should
be taken to prevent bending or striking the lever.

YOURTVIOTOR
REVERSE
Always retard motor speed to within "shifting range"
as indicated on throttle control plate before shifting.
A special reverse lock (item 4, Figure 5) built into
the swivel bracket locks the motor against tilting
when in reverse. Use extra care when running in
reverse to avoid striking any obstruction and dam-
aging lower unit parts. The tilting feature functions
only in FORWARD or NEUTRAL gear shift position.
LUBRICATION
AND
FUELINSTRUCTIONS
Proper lubrication is an important factor in the per-
formance and life of your outboard motor. The
following instructions are therefore very important
and should be followed carefully.
The oil and fuel mixture referred to in the following
instructions should always be thoroughly mixed in a
separate container before pouring into motor fuel
tanK: NEVER POUR SEPARATELY INTO FUEL
TANK. Also, all fuel should be poured through a
fine mesh strainer to remove dirt and water which
may be present: Use only metal containers.
TYPE OF GASOLINE. Use a good grade of regular
gasoline.
TYPE OF OIL. Use a high grade outboard oil . or,
if that is not availabie, regular SAE 30 motor oil .
Avoid use of low-priced, third grade (ML) oils.
MIXTURE. Mix 1r'2 pint of oil with each gallon of
gasoline.
PROCEDURE. Pour into the container approximately
one-half the amount of gasoline required. Add all
the oil required at the ratio of 1t2 pint of oil to each
gallon of gasoline. Shake the two together until they
are thoroughly mixed. Add the balance of gasoline.
Shake container briskly to insure mixing.
LUBRIC.ATION OF GEAR CASE. The gear case has
been filled at the factory with the correct lubricant.
Check for Iubricant a-fter first 5 hours of operation;
then every 50 hours. For method of lubrication, see
page 5.

BREAK-IN
PERIOD
Reasonable care in the operation of the motor during
t}te first seyeral hours of use will improve ir* i,€r.-
formance andinsure longer li-fe. Follow the fuel and
lubrication instructions carefully. After operatlng
motor at part throttle for aboutonehr)ur, it is per-
missible to run at full throitie for a few secondsfol-
lowed by a few minutes of part throttle operation.
Repeat frequently, gradually increasing the time of
full throttle until another two l.ours of operation are
completed. No extra oil is required lor the break-in
period.
STARTI
NGINSTRUCTIONS
lSee Figure 4.)
1. Open air vent screw in fuel tank filler cap.
2. Open fuel tank shut-off valve.
3. Sethigh andlow speedknobs^withpolnters strpighr
up. In temperatures below 40u F., turn high speed
knab l/4 turn to the left.
4. Move gear shift lever to NEUTRAL. NEVER
START MOTOR IN GEAR
5. Turn throttle control to START positton, as in-
dicated on the throttle control plate located on the
steering handle.
6. PulI out choke control knob out all the way.
7. PulI starter handle slowly untll starter engages,
then pull forcibly. Repeatunt!.I
motor starts. Allow
starter cord to rewind before releasing handle. It
is not necessary to pull cord rrutmore than two feet.

of
your
tlotor
L AJter motor starts, push choke control knob in
slowly.
9. Reduce motor speed before shifting in FOR1VARD
or REVERSE. Throttle control must be within
"shifting range." Move gear shift lever quickly
into desired position. DO NOT ease into position.
10. WHEN IN FORWARD ONLY, advance throttle
control to FAST position. Run motor a few minutes
to warm up. Increase speed to full power and ad-
just high speed knob, turning to left or right, until
motor r,rrrs smOothly.
11. Reduce speedandadjust low speedknob by turn-
ing to left or right, until motor idles smoothly.
12. Turningthrottle control to FAST increases speed
and to SLOW decreases speed.
13. To stop motor, turn throttle control to STOP
position.
WARM
MOTOR
It is not necessary to prime motor when startlng if
motor has been lvarmed up. Motor can usually be
started wlth carburetor knob ln running position and
pulltng starter handlewith throttle control at START
posltlon. :LOOD
ING
Floodittg may occur by over-choklng or choking a
warm motor. If this occurs, turn carburetor knob
to extreme rtght (off posttlon) and pull starter handle
several tlmes. tffhenmotor starts, allow to run untll
it stops. Then follow lnstructions for startlng cold
or warm motor, whlchever applies.
