2007 Johnson 2.5 hp R4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

10-HOUR INSPECTION
Oil  —  Start the engine and run it at least five min-
utes to warm the crankcase oil.
Stop the engine and drain the crankcase while the
engine is warm. Refill it with  Evinrude/Johnson Ul-
tra 4-Stroke synthetic blend oil. Refer to Crankcase
Oil. Restart the engine and run it for a few minutes
to circulate the fresh oil.
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),       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.
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.
Stop the engine and turn off the water. Disconnect
the flushing device.
Spark Plugs  — Remove    and    examine   them.
Spray fogging oil into the plug holes. Slowly rotate
the flywheel several rotations by hand to distribute
the oil and to drain the water from the water pump.
Clean and reinstall the spark plugs, or discard and
replace them, if necessary. Refer to Spark Plugs.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
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.
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.
Screws, bolts, nuts  —  Tighten
loose.
any    that    are
Propeller  —  Remove and examine. If damaged,
see your Dealer. Clean the propeller shaft and lubri-
cate it. Refer to Propeller.
To do the off-season storage preparations yourself,
gather the supplies and perform the following steps:
Lubrication  —  Refer to Lubrication to drain and
refill the gearcase and for lubricating points on the
engine.
2+4
Triple-Guard® grease
Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant
Storage Fogging Oil spray can
Evinrude/Johnson   Ultra    4-Stroke   synthetic
blend oil
Fuel Conditioner
Touch up painted surfaces and wax the engine’s
exterior. Store the engine on the boat (or an engine
stand) in a vertical, self-draining position.
If you cannot store the engine in the recommended
vertical  position,  be  sure  the  cooling  system  is
drained completely.
Stabilize  the  engine’s  fuel  supply  with 2+4  Fuel
Conditioner during the last hours of operation to en-
sure  proper  stabilization,  following  instructions
on the container for mixture. Be sure to run the
engine long enough for the treated fuel to reach
the engine.
IMPORTANT:  Never  place  the  gearcase  higher
than the powerhead. Any water remaining in the ex-
haust  passages  can  run  into  the  cylinders   and
cause serious damage.
If  you  remove  an  "installed"  engine,  examine  all
hardware you loosened or removed from the en-
gine  and  its  steering,  throttle,  and  shift  systems.
Replace damaged or missing parts with  Evinrude/
Johnson Genuine Parts, or equivalent.
WARNING
Prevent injury from moving engine compo-
nents. Before starting the engine:
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
WARNING
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of pow-
erhead.
Store  fuel  tanks  in  a  well-ventilated  area,
away  from  heat  and  open  flame.  Prevent
escape of liquid or vapors which could acci-
dentally  ignite.   Close  the   filler  cap   vent
screw,  if   equipped.  Be   sure  the   discon-
nected fuel hose does not drip.
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.
