instructions. The greatest danger occurs when performing the following prohibited activities:
a) The device is used by children and persons with reduced physical and mental abilities.
b) The device is used by a person not familiar with the instructions, as well as persons without
knowledge on the use of water vehicles and on moving on water reservoirs.
c) The use of a damaged motor.
GENERAL REMARKS
a) Before the first start of the motor, read this instruction manual carefully to familiarize yourself with
all its features and functions, safety requirements, and ways to operate and maintain it.
b) Prior to each sail out you should carry out a daily inspection.
c) Never run the motor in closed rooms. Exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide that could
lead to loss of consciousness and even death.
d) Never use the boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
e) Test your boat on low and medium speeds until you learn to handle it carefully and understand its
behaviour in different situations. Never sail with maximum speeds, if you do not know exactly the
behaviour of the boat on water.
f) Be sure that all passengers aboard wear life jackets.
g) When loading the boat, make sure that the weight is distributed evenly.
h) Comply with inspection dates.
i) Do not make any alterations or modifications to the motor or its components. This could result in
motor damage and an accident.
j) Get familiar with and follow the shipping regulations in force in the waters on which you plan to sail.
k) Make sure that you have adequate safety and signalling equipment such as life jackets for each
passenger, flares, fire extinguisher, anchor, paddle, bilge pump, rope, first aid kit, tool kit, emergency
start line, fuel supply, oil, etc.
I) Instruct all passengers on the rules of conduct in case of emergency. Make sure that they know the
rules of use of the boat.
m) Make sure they know how to use safety equipment and how to act in case of problems.
n) When boarding or disembarking the boat, do not stand on the cover of the motor or other parts of
it.
o) Before starting the sail out check out the weather forecast.
p) Take special care when replacing any parts of the motor or selecting and installing additional
equipment. The use of non-original or poor quality parts can cause damage to the motor and lead to
danger. The use of non-original parts will result in an immediate loss of warranty.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Motor assembly
The assembly of the motor with the propeller takes place using 4 assembly screws (item 34 in the
technical drawing). Then, assembly the strand of the throttling valve along with the handle throttle
lever.
Refuelling
Warning! The use of leaded petrol can cause motor damage. Use only unleaded petrol.
Refuelling the motor when it is on the boat can lead to the pollution of water or can damage the water
surface. Therefore, refuelling on the boat is categorically prohibited.
To avoid the aforementioned, after refuelling make sure that the motor is well bolted to the
escutcheon.
Starting a cold motor
a) Switch/move (depending on model) the switch (6) on the handle to "I" position.
b) Gently push the pump primer several times (7 - 10 times) until fuel reaches the primer and is in the
carburetor.
c) Move the lever (12) to close the choke (upper position).
d) Pull the starter handle (13) until the initial motor start-up.
e) Move the lever (12) to open the choke (lower position) - (excessive use of the motor with closed
suction will cause flooding of the motor or hinder its proper start-up).
f) Pull the starter handle until the motor is started correctly ("motor rotations are working").
g) Allow the motor to warm up for a few minutes before starting to work.
Starting a warm motor
• If the fuel has not returned from the carburetor to the fuel tank and the motor is still warm, pull the
starter handle (13) one to three times, and the motor should start.
NO FUEL/RESTART:
MOTOR
STRAND

• If you run out of fuel and after refuelling the motor does not start/the motor is cool, start the steps
from 3 to 7 - STARTING A COLD MOTOR.
TURNING THE MOTOR OFF:
• Slide the switch in the handle to the "O" position.
Inspection before sail out
Before sailing out carry out motor inspection.
a) Make sure that you have enough fuel for the planned sail out.
b) Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
c) Make sure you have enough life jackets.
Motor scavenging
After each use of the motor in sea water or contaminated water, or if the motor is stored for a long
time, wash it thoroughly with clean water. Failure to do so will cause the salt get into the motor and
produce corrosion that shortens the life of the unit.
In addition, pay attention to the condition of the cooling fins of the motor. If they are muddy or silted,
the heat transfer through the motor does not work properly, and it is necessary to clean the fins of
dirt.
Fuel tank cleaning
Take off the cover of the fuel filter, drain the fuel tank. Remove the fuel filter and pour out water, mud
and other debris, rinsing the tank with chemicals.
Fuel filter maintenance
Take off the spark plug pipe, empty the fuel tank. Pull out the fuel filter and clean it (if necessary,
replace it with a new one).
Motor flooding
A motor which has been flooded must be immediately subjected to a detailed inspection in a workshop
to prevent corrosion. In the event of flooding, immediately do the following:
a) Take out the motor from water as soon as possible.
b) Rinse it with fresh water removing salt, mud and seaweed.
c) Dry the fuel lines and the carburetor.
d) Before restarting the motor must be delivered to service.

Spark plug check
To ensure proper motor operation, the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug must be properly
set, and the spark plug itself cannot be covered by carbon deposit.
If the motor has just stopped running, the muffler will be very hot, so be careful not to touch the hot
muffler.
Never use a spark plug with an incorrect heat capacity.
a) Loosen the screw, and then remove the top cover of the motor.
b) Remove the spark plug pipe and using a suitable spark plug wrench unscrew the spark plug.
c) Visually check the condition of the spark plug. If it is worn or if the isolator is cracked or broken,
throw out the spark plug. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush, if it is suitable for reuse.
d) Use a feeler gauge to measure the distance between the electrodes. If adjustment is required, gently
bend the side electrode. The gap should be 0.60 - 0.70 mm.
e) Check that the washer on the spark plug is in a good condition and replace the candle by hand to
prevent twisting of the thread.
f) After the initial manual screwing of the spark plug, tighten it using the wrench to accurately press
the washer. If you are installing a new spark plug, after the manual screwing tighten it with a wrench
by 1/2 turn to compress the washer. If you are installing a used spark plug, tighten it with a wrench by
1/8 to 1/4 turn. If the spark plug is tightened too lightly, it may overheat and damage the motor.
g) Replace the spark plug.
Changing oil in the cross helical gear
The oil in the cross helical gear should be replaced after a maximum of 100 hours.
a) Empty the oil tank by unscrewing the oil drain plug and the oil level plug.
b) After emptying, pour in new transmission oil. The oil should be poured in until the oil level plug
appears on top.
c) Place the drain plug and the level plug and then tighten them.

Propeller
The propeller may be exposed to mechanical damage caused by hitting the bottom or objects in the
water when the motor is running. Even slight damage to the motor can affect the culture of work and
boat speed. The screw is fitted with a special pin which has been designed in a way that allows it to
break upon impact with a solid object. Replacement of the pin is very simple.
If the propeller is bent, chipped or cracked, it must be replaced with a new one recommended by the
manufacturer.
Every three months you should remove the screw and grease the shaft.
Storage
Before storing, empty the fuel tank and thoroughly clean the motor. Keep the motor in a dry clean
room.
INSTALLATION AND USE
To mount the motor on a boat use clamp bolts. Before each sail out, check the condition of assembly
of the motor (eliminate any backlash). The motor should be protected by a rope or a chain in the
case of damage to the mount. In most motors, the mounting bracket is usually bolted to the
escutcheon. This is a safer method but requires more frequent and more accurate mount inspection.
Heeling angle
Oil level plug
Oil drain plug

After installing the motor, the prow of the boat may sink or float. A correct heeling angle depends on
the boat characteristics, the size of the outboard motor, marine conditions and load. Pay attention to
adjust the heeling angle to the conditions every single time. In this type of outboard motors, the
heeling angle is adjusted manually using the locking rod in appropriate positions.
Unscrew two screws (item 37), adjust the angle of the motor, then tighten the screws.
Mount bracket 27, as shown in the figure. Prior to assembly, loosen screw 37 and bracket 27, and
mount screw 38 together with shaft 41. Then, install 4 seals 42 as shown in the figure, and tighten
screws 37. Make sure that the assembled whole has no backlash.

Mount the assembled motor to the stern, and tighten the screws correctly.
HEELING ANGLE TOO BIG HEELING ANGLE OPTIMAL HEELING ANGLE TOO SMALL
(tendency to diving) (the bow too high)
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Follow the table below for maintenance of the outboard motor and extension of its life. In the case
of intensive use and, if necessary, these activities should be carried out more often.
DISPOSAL OF USED DEVICES
After the life of the device has ended, do not dispose of this product with normal
household waste, but take it to a collection point for recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment. This is indicated by the symbol on the product, user manual
or packaging. Thanks to re-use, use of materials or other forms of old appliances
you make an important contribution to protecting our environment.
