exhaustoutlet, and is forced through the cooling sys-
tem, Iater to be discharged at the outlet in the ex-
haust tube provided for this purpose. Water enters
the cooling system through the holes in the watgr
by-pass cover abovethe anti-cavitation plate when
operating in REVERSE. (See
Figure 1 for locations
of cooling system parts.)
NOTE
If, while operating motor at fuII speed, it
should show signs of slowing
down, immedi-
ately check water discharge at'water outlet
(Figure B) located at rear of the motor di-
rectly below cylinder. In case no water is
being discharged, immediately shut off the
motor and check water inlet (Figure 8) for
obstruction. If no obstruction is found, it
may indicate worn pump parts.
REMOVINGMOTORFROM
BOAT
At end of run, with motor running in NEUTRAL,
.close
fuel shut-off valveand
permit motor torununtil
it stops, draining carburetor. Closeair ventscrew
in filler cap. The motor can then be carried with-
out fuel leakage. For safety, always drain fuel
tank before transporting motor. Also drain water
thoroughly as in "Care of Motor in CoIdWeather.
"
When removing motor from boat, lift motor in a
straight upward position and hold thls position for
a brlef period until aII water is drained from the
underwater exhausttube and water cooling system"
Do not stand motor on top or carry with the top down
before draining water, as this may allow water to
enter the power headlrom underwaterexhausttube.
CARI
OFMOTOR
INCOLDWEATHER
The motor will not freeze while in use, but when it
is idle, water in the cylinders or pump might freeze
and damage the motor. Drain by setting the motor in
an upright position and pulling starter cord several
times with speed control grip in STOP position. If
the motor is to be stored during cold weather, be
sure that no water is left in the motor or it may
freeze. (See "Preparation for Storage.
")
SALT
WATER
INSTRUCTIONS
A little time spent in caring for vour motorwhenused
in salt water will aid in not only keeping it in good
running order but help in retaining its finish and ap-
pearance. TiIt the motor out of the water when it is
not in use. At the end oI the day or when not using
the motor for a period of time it is advisable to re-
move lt from the boat anci
to fiush it by running it in
a tank of fresh water. Wipe the motor dry and go
over all parts with an oily cloth. This should be
done as soon as possible after removing the motor
from the boat.
PREPARATIONFOR
STORAGE
No outboard motor should be placed in storage with-
out considerine the necessarv precautions. If motor
Coreol
yourlulotol
is operated in salt water, flush by runningin a tank
of fresh water. Drain and refill gear casewith the
proper lubricant. See
page 5.
Prior to storing the motor, run it for about
one-half
(1/2) rninute in choke
position. Shutoff motor with-
out pushing choke
backto normal position. Purpose
of this operation is to flood the inner parts of the
powerhead with oil (oil in fuel mixture) while in
storage.
Drain all water from the coolingsystem. See
"Care
of Motor in Cold Weather."
Drain all fuel irom fuel tank, gas,.line
andcarbure-
tor.
Under no circumstances should the motor be stored
in an inverted position. It should
be hung
on a rack
simllar to the manner in which it is mounted
onthe
boat. Store in a dry place. Wrap the motor in a
piece of canvas, old blanket, or heavy paper.
PUNING
MOTORINUSEAFTERSTORAGE
PulI off spark plug leads and remove spark plugs.
If rubber spark plug hoods have been removed from
ignition leads, be sure to ground leads to some part
of motor to prevent possibility of spark" (THIS IS
IMPORTANT. ) Spin motor by pulling on starter cord
to remove excess oil from cylinders. Clean spark
plugs, check gap and replace, Install new plugs if
they are cracked, broken, or badly burned. Tighten
all screws and nuts. Check adjustments such as tilt-
ing friction, co-pilot, and carburetor knob.
RUNNINGMOTORINTEST
TANK
1. Do not run motor out of water.
2. Do not "break-in" motor in tank.
3. Remove water by-pass cover (small metal strip
on lower port side of upper pump housing, Figure B).
4. When running in tank be sure gear housing and
propeller are submerged.
5. Do not race motor in tank.
6. Use test propeller when testing motor in tank.
?. Cavitation (air pocket around propeller) may occur
when operating motor in tank with regular propeller.
Motor will then not perform properly or it may race
and be damaged as a result.

Precaution shouid be taken to prevent a motor going
overboard (see page 1). However, if a motor has
been submerged, it should be recovered as quickly
as possible.
Since the motor is temporariiy out of working otdet,
do not attempt to operate it until the following pro-
cedure has been used to restore it to service,
