EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
The stop switch will cut off the engine when the stop switch line is pulled out.
This line can be attached
to the body of the operator, effectively preventing
injuries from the propeller in case he/she falls
overboard.
We
highly r
ecommend
use of stop switch line because it can save the life
of
the
operator
if
something
bad
happens
.
However,
we
would
als
o
like
to
point
out
the
drawbacks
of
the
switch.
Accidental
activation
of
the
switch
(such
as
the
line
being
pulled
out
in
heavy
seas
)
could
cause
passengers
to
lose
their
balance
and
even
fall
overboard,
or
it
could
result
in
loss
of
power
in
heavy
seas,
strong
currents,
or
high
winds.
Loss
of
control
while
mooring
is
another
potential
hazard.
To prevent such hazardous situations, the
500 mm line is coiled and can
be
extended toa full 1,300mm.
WARNINGS
As the operator/driver of the boat, you are responsible for the safety of those
aboard and those in other
crafts around yours. Therefore you should possess thorough knowledge of correct
operation of the
Rubber Inflatable Boat (Wing/Zodiac), its accessories, and the Raider engine. To learn about the correct
operation and maintenance of the engine, please read through this manual
carefully.
It
is very difficult for a soldier standing or floating in the water to take evasive
action should he or she see
a power boat heading in his/her direction, even at a slow speed. Therefore, when your boat is in the
immediate vicinity of people in
the water to be picked up care should be used. A Safety Jet option (jet
pump) from Raider is available and especially useful for training purposes.
SERIOUS INJURY IS LIKELY IF A PERSON IN THE WATER MAKES
CONTACT WITH A MOVING BOAT, GEAR
HOUSING, PROPELLER, OR
ANY SOLID DEVICE RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO A BOAT OR GEAR
HOUSING.
Prior to any mission some individual must be assigned to perform all safety checks and to ensure that
all
lubrication and maintenance instructions are complied with for safe
operation. Periodic maintenance
should be performed. Correct periodic maintenance and good careof this outboard engine will lessen
the
chanceof problems and keepoverall performance of missions successful.

SERVICING, REPLACEMENT PARTS & LUBRICANTS
Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance
on the Raider. Training classes can be given or
questions answered by contacting www.raideroutboards.com. Be sure to use genuine Raider parts and
genuine Raider lubricants or
recommended lubricants. 50:1 mix should be synthetic TC-W3 2-cycle oil.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic
inspection at the prescribed intervals is critical.
The Raider motors will be subjected to drops,
submersion and other abuse typical outboards will never receive. The most critical maintenance, after
missions, is to wash down the motor with water and dry. When in salt water it is important to run fresh
water through the system. For long period of time storage a fogging spray can be used. Trouble free
operation cannot be expended unless the engine receives adequate
periodic maintenance.
If
maintenance isperformed periodically, it isnot likely
that acostly overhaul will everbe required.
A maintenance program is outlined later in this User’s Manual.
SUBMERSIBLE - DEWATERING INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions on how to dewater the Raider 50 is located on the top of the cowling. The steps to
dewater after submersion are as follows:
1.
Initiate dewatering valve. This opens valve that releases the water trapped between the
pistons and the heads.
2.
Pull rope starter slowly 8 –10 times. The pistons will displace water out of engine.
3.
Keeping dewatering valve open; press “start” button. The pistons displace final water and
engine begins to start.
4.
If pull start is used, close valve, pull until starts. Primer valve can be pushed to assist
starting.
5.
Close dewatering valve. Engine starts.
6.
If operator detects water in Fuel system; press dewatering valve all the way in, press
rubber bulb on fuel line three times to eliminate fuel which is replaced by new fuel.
7.
Spark plugs rarely need changing; they are designed to operate in wet environment.
EPA LABEL
A label has been applied indicating the Raider 50 does not comply with EPA standards due to
Burning JP-5/JP-8 fuels.
USERS
Raider outboards are designed and built exclusively for the military under National Security
Exemption.
MULTIPLE FUELS
Raider 50 has been designed to operate with multiple fuels: JP-5/JP-8; jet A; kerosene; diesel and bio-
fuels as secondary fuels. Gasoline (minimum 87 octane) is primary fuel. To run heavy fuels each Fuel
Induction System (FIS) has two valves that must be turned to open position. When not using heavy
fuels close valves.

RAIDER INSTALLATION ON RUBBER INFLATABLE BOATS
(RIBS)
4.7 RIB’s may have weight/horsepower limitations –
Raider 40 weight is 148 pounds for single Outboard –without Safety Jet Drive
Raider 50 weight is 178 pounds for single Outboard –without Safety Jet Drive
Check transom tag on RIB prior to installation. Install motor(s) as close to center as possible.
3.1 Installation -
Single Raider
Position the outboard engine at the
exact center of the stem
(Fig. I ) of RIB.
3.2 Dual Raiders Configuration
Position the outboard engines 470-
660mm (18.5
-
26.0 in.) apart,
measured from an
imagined center
line of each engine, in the exact
center of the stem. (Fig. 2). After centering
the engines, insure the control rod reaches both engines. Twin engine configurations have an
extended motor rod where the control arm attaches. Remove cowling and insert dual-control
throttle cable.
Every Raider can be made to become “dual” operated. Order the optional kit which contains
Cable; connecting rod; and motor adapter. The connecting rod controls both Raiders; the
throttle cable quickly integrates both fuel controls. Either tiller can be used.

Be sure that the anti-ventilation plate of the outboard is below the water
surface whenrunning
withwideopenthrottle. If the Raider pushes water into the RIB; raise the motor on the transom
by adding a shim on top of transom to achieve proper Raider motor height.
Note: If
the height difference exceeds 10
–
30 mm engine power performance is
likely
to be reduced as a result of increased water resistance to the gear case
assembly.
3.5 Attaching theStern Bracket
Both Zodiac and Wing inflatable’s come with bracket attached. The Raider is a long shaft (20 inches)
and should attach simply by centering the Raider 50 in the center and tighten Raider clamps. For dual
Raiders position motors as described above to allow connecting rod to be attached.

3.6 Propeller Selection
The propeller supplied with the Raider is an “all around” propeller. Whatever propeller you ultimately
decide to use must be selected so that the engine rpm measured at wide open
throttle while cruising is
within the recommended range between
5000 to 5700 rpm. The Raider 50 can be made faster or
push more weight by changing propellers.
A Safety Jet option is available that encloses the propeller for safety purposes such as training or
operating in a heavy debris area.
3.7 Cowling rear latching
When removing cowling/top cover unlatch as shown; bring cowling forward to clear the pull start.
When returning cowling to operating position; first clear pull start; center the front over the extended
edge; then place cover in place. This is a tight fit, you may have to push cowling toward rear and latch
the cowling to the base Raider.
3-8 Battery
The battery is located under the cowling; it is a sealed lithium iron battery providing 270 Cranking
Amps. The battery is held by a holder with a bottom cut out; the battery case has an extended case
that fits into the cut out (slot). To remove unscrew single screw; remove connector from Raider; and
remove battery. To reinstall; place battery in holder; tighten screw; connect to other end of connector
and you are ready to go.
Note: Always unplug battery after mission. A battery tender has been supplied to maintain battery.
DO NOT USE FAST CHARGER ON BATTERY. If battery is dead; upon starting engine with primary pull
start it will recharge.
Maintenance on the battery is clean connections on wiring; clean exterior of battery; apply grease to
connectors; store in dry place. Use maintainer to maintain while not in Raider. Disconnect for long
periods of time.

Starting
The Raider 50 has three starting capabilities.
a) Primary is manual pull start. This method simply uses the pull start located at the
top of the Raider.
b) Secondary starting is the “push button” which engages the battery. If the battery
is dead if you start the Raider it will recharge in minutes.
c) Third method is emergency only. In the tool kit (BII) are tools that allow the pull
starter (a) to be removed. In the BII you will find a rope that can be wound around
fly wheel to manually start the Raider 50.
5.3.
Manual Rope Start (Last resort for starting)
a. Set the Shift Lever to Neutral.
(2) Remove the Upper Engine Cover. Then,
b. Remove
the
“Emergency Kit.” Remove the
Recoil Starter Assembly using the tools in the BII

d. Turn the throttle grip so that the indicator line meets the "START
mark.
e. Wind the starter rope around the flywheel a few turns.Give it a sharptug
to start the engine. Use
a socket wrench or similar to get a firm grip on
theend of the rope.
f. Warm-up
Before driving the boat, let the engine run at low speed for approximately
three minutes to let it
warm and allow the oil to circulate through the
machine.
If
the engine is not warmed up
beforehand, the engine life will
