How to use this manual 1
Manual format 1
The format of this manual has been designed to make service procedures clear and easy to under-
stand. Use the information below as a guide for effective and quality service.
•Parts are shown and detailed in an exploded diagram and are listed in the component list (see 1
in the figure below for an example page).
•The component list consists of part names and quantities, as well as bolt and screw dimensions
(see 2in the figure below).
•Symbols are used to indicate important aspects of a procedure, such as the grade of lubricant and
lubrication point (see 3in the figure below).
•Tightening torque specifications are provided in the exploded diagrams (see 4in the figure below
for an example), and in the related detailed instructions. Some torque specifications are listed in
stages as torque figures or angles in degrees.
•Separate procedures and illustrations are used to explain the details of removal, checking, and
installation where necessary (see 5in the figure below for an example page).
NOTE:
For troubleshooting procedures, see Chapter 9, “Troubleshooting.”

Safety while working 1
To prevent an accident or injury and to
ensure quality service, follow the safety pro-
cedures provided below.
Fire prevention 1
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Keep gasoline and all flammable products
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Ventilation 1
Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If inhaled
in large quantities, they may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short time.
When test running an engine indoors (e.g., in
a water tank) be sure to do so where ade-
quate ventilation can be maintained.
Self-protection 1
Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses
or safety goggles during all operations involv-
ing drilling and grinding, or when using an air
compressor.
Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when neces-
sary.
Part, lubricant, and sealant 1
Use only genuine Selva parts, lubricants,
and sealants or those recommended by
Selva, when servicing or repairing the out-
board motor.
Under normal conditions, the lubricants men-
tioned in this manual should not harm or be
hazardous to your skin. However, you should
follow these precautions to minimize any risk
when working with lubricants.
1. Avoid contact with skin. Do not, for
example, place a soiled rag in your
pocket.
2. Wash hands and any other part of the
body thoroughly with soap and hot water
after contact with a lubricant or lubricant
soiled clothing has been made.
3. Change and wash clothing as soon as
possible if soiled with lubricants.
4. To protect your skin, apply a protective
cream to your hands before working on
the outboard motor.
5. Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for
wiping up spills, etc.

6. Maintain good standards of personal and
industrial hygiene.
Good working practice 1
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to protect parts from damage. Use the right
tool in the right manner—do not improvise.
Tightening torque
Follow the tightening torque specifications
provided throughout the manual. When tight-
ening nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the
large sizes first, and tighten fasteners starting
in the center and moving outward.
Non-reusable part
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cot-
ter pins, circlips, etc., when installing or
assembling parts.
Disassembly and assembly 1
1. Use compressed air to remove dust and
dirt during disassembly.
2. Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces
of moving parts before assembly.
3. Install bearings with the manufacture
identification mark in the direction indi-
cated in the installation procedure. In
addition, be sure to lubricate the bearings
liberally.
4. Apply a thin coat of water resistant
grease to the lip and periphery of an oil
seal before installation.
5. Check that moving parts operate nor-
mally after assembly.
