DANGER
WARNING
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
Be sure to turn the fuel lever forward and
close the fuel tank vent screw before tilting
up the motor, or fuel will continue to flow
from the built-in tank and fuel may leak out.
Tilt Down
Grasp tilt grip on engine cover and raise motor
slightly. Pull up on the tilt lock lever. Slowly lower
motor to its normal operating position.
WARNING
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller by removing the propeller before
flushing.
1
Flush your engine for at least five minutes with fresh
water as soon as possible after each use in salty,
polluted or brackish water to minimize the formation
of deposits that can clog cooling passages.
Run the engine in a large container of water, such
as a 30-gallon garbage can. If needed, insert a
board between the rim of the can and the engine’s
clamp screws for thickness. Be sure water covers
the engine’s water intakes.
