loss of control of the boat and may cause severe personal Injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not release starter rope and let it snap back against housing.
IMPORTANT: If motor does not stop immediately when Stop Button is depressed, move Choke Lever to its OFF (closed) position to stop motor. Have Stop Button serviced before restarting unit.
STOPPING
For normal stopping, move Throttle Lever or twist grip to IDLE position and allow motor to run at idle speed for a few minutes so that motor parts can cool evenly. To shut off, move Throttle Lever to full OFF position. For model 300, depress Stop Button.
IMPORTANT: If motor will not be used for long periods of time, tilt motor up to storage position, or removed from boat. The following procedures should be used to prevent fuel spillage. 1) Close fuel shut off valve. 2) Close air vent on fuel fill cap. 3) Allow motor to run until it stops on its own.
CAUTION: Remove wire from spark plug to prevent accidental starting or unauthorized use of unit.
Salt Water Operation
Operation in salt water will result in accumulation of salt or mineral deposits on exposed motor parts. To prevent corrosion of motor, take the following steps.
Always tilt motor out of the water when not in use. Never leave lower unit in salt water overnight.
Rinse exterior of unit with fresh water and wipe dry. Apply a thin coating of oil over unit.
Inspect unit daily and apply a light coating of grease to components which show signs of corrosion.
Always tilt motor by lifting on rear of shroud. Do not push down on handle.
Operation after Submersion
A motor which has been entirely submerged in water must be completely disassembled and cleaned before operation. Disassembly should be done by a certified Tanaka technician. To avoid corrosion of internal parts, this should be accomplished as soon after recovery as possible. If certified Tanaka service is not immediately available, proceed as follows.
Set unit upright to drain water. Remove spark plug and pour 2 ounces of oil in plug hole. Install plug but not plug wire. Set motor upright and pull recoil starter rope rapidly 2 or 3 times to distribute oil over internal surfaces. Have unit serviced as soon as possible
