Operation

Owner’s Manual

PRE-STARTING

IMPORTANT: 2-cycle engines require that oil be mixed with gasoline (refer to Fuel section below for proper mixture).

CAUTION:

Make sure all hardware is tight, all safety devices are in place and operating, all adjustments are made correctly, that Stop Switch on models equipped with them, stops motor and that Throttle Lever moves freely.

Fuel

IMPORTANT: Failure to mix oil with gasoline will result in seizure and severe damage to motor. DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline containing alcohol because alcohol will attack and cause internal parts to deteriorate. Use unleaded gasoline for best performance.

NOTE: To prevent foreign particles from entering tank while filling: wipe dust, dirt and debris from around cap before removing it.

WARNING:

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Allow motor to cool several minutes before removing fuel tank cap. Never fill tank when motor is running or hot from operation. Do not allow open flame, matches, or smoking in area. DO NOT overfill. Wipe up any spills and allow vapors to dissipate. Use approved (Red) gasoline container.

Tanaka 2-cycle oil has been formulated to insure maximum motor performance and increased motor life. Premix Tanaka oil per instructions on container. If Tanaka oil is not available, select a quality 2-cycle approved oil and use unleaded gasoline.

If oil manufacturer does not recommend a specific mixing ratio, mix at a 1 to 50 ratio (2.6 ounces oil per gallon of unleaded gasoline). Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.

NOTE: After fuel mixture has been left standing for a prolonged period of time it will begin to separate, therefore thoroughly shake mixture before using.

Mounting To Boat

Motor must be mounted in center of boat transom. Recommended transom height is 20". Clamp to transom with clamp stud handles turned hand tight. Secure unit to transom using a safety chain (not supplied).

During operation, occasionally check clamps for tightness. Loose clamps may result in damage to motor or boat.
