INFORMATION
BEFORE OPERATION.
To safely realize the full potential of
this outboard motor, you need a
complete understanding of its
operation and a certain amount of
practice with its controls.
Before operating the outboard motor
for the first time, please review the
on page and the
chapter titled
To adjust, first tilt the outboard
motor so it is not resting on the rod.
Push the rod in and turn the end of
the rod up, so the latch will fall
into line with the rod.
Remove the rod and reinsert it in
the desired position.
For your safety, do not start or run
the engine in a confined or partly
enclosed area. Your engine’s exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless gas that can
collect rapidly. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Proper break-in procedure allows the
moving parts to wear in smoothly for
best performance and long service
life.
For the first 10 hours, run the
outboard motor at low speed, and
avoid full-throttle operation.
The transom angle adjusting rod is
used to adjust the angle of the
outboard motor in the normal
operating position (p.
).
Push the rod in and turn the end of
the rod down, so the latch will fall
to the locked position. Then
release the rod.
