GENERAL INFORMATION

PROPANE TANK

Use of a LEHR Liquid Draw propane tank or liquid draw forklift type tank is recommended. A DOT approved

vapor “BBQ” propane tank may be used, however extended use at high RPM will result in slowed engine

performance. Connect a vapor type tank to the remote propane connector with the provided high pressure

vapor draw propane hose.

NOTE: Do not use a hose assembly that includes a pressure regulator.

WARNING: If using a liquid draw tank and liquid draw hose, always turn off the valve on tank when done

using. When disconnecting the tank, the hose will still contain liquid propane. If the liquid draw

hose needs to be removed, turn off the tank valve and run the engine to deplete the contents of

the hose before removing the hose from the tank.

TILLER HANDLE

To change direction wile operating your boat, move the tiller handle to the left or right as necessary.

GEAR SHIFT LEVER

Your outboard has three gear shift positions to provide operation: Forward(F), Neutral(N), and Reverse(R).

Reduce throttle speed to idle speed before shifting. Always shift outboard into gear with a quick motion.

THROTTLE GRIP AND THROTTLE FRICTION ADJUSTER

The throttle grip is on the tiller handle. Turn the grip counterclockwise to increase speed and clockwise to

decrease speed. A friction device provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip or the

remote control lever, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, turn the

adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.

WARNING: Do not overtighten the throttle friction adjuster.

If there is too much resistance, it could be

difficult to move throttle lever or grip, which

could result in an accident. When constant

speed is desired, tighten the adjuster just

enough to maintain the desired throttle setting.
