2004 Johnson 60 70 hp PL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

10-HOUR INSPECTION
WARNING
After 10 hours of operation, your new engine will be
broken in and its mechanical parts will have seated.
At that time, all systems should be checked and any
adjustments needed should be made.
Your DEALER will perform this 10-Hour Inspection
at your request and expense (based on local rates),
according to what your engine needs — refer to En-
gine Maintenance and Inspection Schedule, 10-
Hour Inspection for a partial list.
Follow consistent preventive maintenance by hav-
ing your DEALER check and service your engine
once a year or  after each 100 hours of   operation,
whichever comes first.
Prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents. Before starting the engine:
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of pow-
erhead.
Remove the propeller if you use a flushing
device.
IMPORTANT: Provide a water supply to the engine
and start it. Run the engine at idle only.
To run the engine on a flusher, refer to Flushing.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
To avoid difficulty when restarting,    never run  the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
You  must  protect  against  natural  environmental
conditions  that  can  be  damaging  to  an  outboard
motor.  Temperature  and  humidity  changes  while
your outboard motor is not in use can cause corro-
sion of internal engine parts when they are not pro-
tected. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank and in the
engine will oxidize and weather which can result in
loss of octane and can cause gum deposits in the
fuel system. Your warranty does not cover engine
failure caused by these conditions. We strongly rec-
ommend that you have your DEALER prepare your
outboard for the off-season.
Oil and Filter
Start  the  engine  and  run  it  at
least five minutes to warm the crankcase oil.
Stop the engine and drain the crankcase while the
engine is warm. Refill it with Evinrude/Johnson ultra
4-Stroke
synthetic blend oil. Replace the oil filter.
Refer to Crankcase Oil and Filter. Restart the en-
gine and run it for a few minutes to circulate the
fresh oil.
IMPORTANT: It is very important that the bearing
surfaces be coated with clean oil before entering a
period of storage, so be sure you run the engine af-
ter changing the oil.
To do the off-season storage preparations yourself,
gather the supplies and perform the following steps:
2+4 fuel conditioner
Stop the engine.
Triple-Guard grease
Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant
Storage Fogging Oil spray can
Evinrude/Johnson   ultra    4-Stroke    synthetic
blend oil
Spark Plugs  —  Remove   and    examine   them.
Clean or discard them, if necessary. Refer to Spark
Plugs.
Spray Evinrude/Johnson Storage Fogging Oil into
the spark plug holes.
Install  spark   plugs;  tighten   to  specifications   in
Spark Plugs.
Crank the engine for a short burst to distribute the
fogging oil and to drain the water from the water
pump.
Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply with 2+4 fuel con-
ditioner during the last hours of operation to ensure
proper stabilization, following instructions on the
container for mixture. Be sure to run the engine
long enough for the treated fuel to reach the en-
gine.
Fuel filter(s)   —  Clean or change.
Ignition, oil and fuel systems  —  Check for mis-
placed leads and damaged or deteriorated parts.
Be sure starter solenoid terminal boot and all con-
nectors are in place.
