General information
Identification numbers record
Outboard motor serial number
The outboard motor ser ial number is
stamped on the label attached to th e port
side
of the cl amp bracket or the upper part of
the sw i ve l bracket
Record
your outboard motorserial number in
the spaces provided to assist you in ordering
spare pa 川 s from your dealer or for
reference in case your

1. Outboard motor ser ial number loc ation
& Safety information
• Beforemounting or operating the outboard
motor, read this entire manua
l. Reading it
should give you an understanding of the
motor and its operation.
• Before operating the boat, read any own-
er's or operator's manuals supp
li ed with it
and all labels. Be sure you understand
each item before operating
•
00 not overpower the boat with this out-
board moto
r. Overpowering the boatcould
result
in loss ofcontrol. The rated powerof
the outboard should be equal to or less
than the rated horsepower capacity of the
boa
t. If the rated horsepower capacity of
the boat is unknown, consult the dealer or
boat manufacturer.
•
00 not modify the outboard. Modifications
could make the motor unfit
or unsafe to
use
• Incorrect propeller selection and incorrect
use may not only cause engine damage,
but al so adversely affectfuel consumption.
Consult your dealer for correct use.
• Neveroperate afterdrinking alcohol
or tak-
ing drugs. About 50% of a
ll boating fatali-
ties involve intoxication
• Have an approved personal flotation de-
vice (
PF O) on board for every occupan t. It
is a good idea to wear a
PFO whenever
boating. At a minimum, childr
en and non-
sw immers should always wear PFOs, and
everyone should wear PFOs when there
are potentially hazardous boating condi-
tions
• Gasoline is highly flammable, and its va-
pors are flammable and explosive. Handle
and store gasoline carefull
y. Make sure
there are no gas fumes
or leaking fuel be-
fore
s t a 同 in g the engine
• This product
em its exhaust gases wh i ch
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
。 dorless gaswhich may cause brain dam-
age
or death when inhaled. Symptoms in-
clude nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness
Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilat-
ed. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets
• Check throttle, shift, and steering for prop
er operation before starting the engine.
• Atlach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
secure place
on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating. If you accidentally
leave the helm, the lanyard will pull from
Ihe swilch, stopping the engine.
• Know Ihe marine laws and regulations
where you will beboating -and obey them
• Stay informed aboul the wealhe
r. Check
wealher forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
• Tell someone where you are going: leave
a Float Plan with a responsible person. Be
sure
10 cancellhe Float Plan when you re-
turn
• Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abililies, and be
sure you understand how your boat han-
dles lindérthe different boating conditions
you may encounte
r. Operate within your
limits, and the limils
ofyour boa t. Always
operate at safe speeds,and keep a careful
watch for obslacles and olherIraffic.
• Always watch carefuUy for swimmers dur-
ing the engine operation.
• Slay away from swimming areas.
• When a swimmer is in the water near you
shift inlo neulral and shut offIhe engine.
•
00 not iIIegally discard empty containers

Propeller selection
The performance 01 youroulboard motor will
be criticallyaffected by your choice 01 propel-
ler, as
an incorrect choice could adversely
affect performance and could also seriously
damage the moto
r. Engine speed depends
on the propeUer size and boat load. 1I engine
General information
speed is 100 high or 100 low for good engine
perlormance, this
wiU have an adverse effect
on the engine
These outboard molors are litted with pro-
pellers chosen
10 pe 斤。rm well over a range
01 applications,butthere may be uses where
a propeller with a different pitch would be
more appropriate. For a greater operating
load, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suit-
able as it enables the correct engine speed
to be maintained. Conversely, a larger-pitch
propeller is more suitable
lor a smaller oper-
ating load.
The dealers stock a range ofpropellers,
and can advise you and install a propelleron
your outboard that is besl suiled to your ap-
plication.
1. Propeller diameter in inches
2. Pr o peller pitch in inches
3. Type 01 p 盯 p e ller (propeller mark)
NOTE:
Selecta propellerwhich will allow the e门 glne
to reach the middle or upper half 01 the oper-
ating range at lull throttle with the maximum
boat load. If operating conditions such as
lightboat loadsthen allow the engine r/min to
ris e above the maximum recommEmded
range, reduce the throttle setting to maintain
the engine
in the properoperating range.

Operation
Installation
Incorrect engine height or obstructions
to smooth water flow (such as the design
or condition of the boat , or accessories
such as transo l'!l ladders or depth finder
transducers) can create airborne water
spray while the boat is cruising. Severe
engine damage
may result if the motor is
operated continuously in the presence of
airborne water spray.
NOTE :
During water testing check the buoyancy
01
the boat, at rest, with it s ma xi mum load.
Check that the static wat
er level on the ex-
haust housing is low enough to prevent wa-
ter entry into the powerhead, when
wa ter
rises due to waves when the outboard is not
runnlng.
Mounting the outboard motor
， 1 ‘ljlI!， mll~ 【帽
• Overpowering a boat could cause se-
vere Instabliity.
00 not install an out-
board motor with more horsepower
than the maximum rating on the capac-
ity plate of the boat. If the boat does not
have a capacity plate, consult the boat
manufacturer .
• The
information presented in this sec-
tion is intended as reference only. It is
not possible to provide complete in-
structions for every possible boat and
motor combination. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the
13
specific boat and motor combination.
， "5'jjjij~ lI~【帽
Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result ín hazardous conditions
such as poor handling , loss of cont r ol , or
fire hazards. Observe the following :
• Forpermanently
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 experi-
enced
person .
• For
portable models , your dealer or oth-

you how to mount your motor.

Trimming outboard motor

Excessive trim for the operating condi-

Cleaning and adjusting spark plug
， 1 ‘ '1'1 啊 I~II~ 【帽
When removing or installing a spark plug ,
be careful not to damage the insulator. A
33
damaged insulator could allow external
sparks , which could lead to explosion or
fire.
The spark plug is an important engine com-
ponent and is easy to inspec
t. The condition
01 the spark plug can indicate something
about the condition
01 the engine. For exam-
ple,
il the center electrode porcelain is very
white,this could indicate
an intake airleak or
carburetion problem in that cylinde r. Do not
attempt to diagnose any problems yoursell
Instead, take the outboard motor to a
dealer. You should periodically re
move and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode.
1I electrode
erosion becomes excessive,
or ifcarbon and
other deposits are excessive, you should re-
place the spark plug with another
01 the cor-
rect type.

Before litting the spark plug, measure the
electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge;
adjust the gap
