WARNING

Boats can become unstable when engaging forward or reverse gears or when changing direction.

The result could be slipping or falling within the boat or overboard.•Operate the boat with occupants and the operator safely seated.•DO NOT stand or make sudden changes in direction while the boat is in motion.

•Any person operating the boat MUST have full knowledge of the operation and handling of the motor and boat.

•DO NOT operate while under the influence of medication or alcohol.

•Every person on board must wear and use a U.S. Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD).

WARNING

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death.•Start and run engine outdoors.•Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area.

•Avoid back trolling and prolonged running with high winds from the stern that could expose you to high concentrations of exhaust gasses.

LUBRICATION / OIL

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION•Oil capacity is approximately 0.7 liters or 24 oz.

CAUTION: Engine shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before starting engine, fill with oil. Do not over#fill.

•Use no special additives with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

•Use a high quality detergent oil classified •For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher such as Briggs & Stratton 30, Part Number 100005.

•Use recommended SAE viscosity grade oil per starting temperature according to chart.

*The use of non#synthetic multi#viscosity oils (5W#30, 10W#30, etc.)in temperatures above 40° F (4° C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption.

**SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Checking and Adding Oil•Engine must be in an upright vertical position when checking and changing oil.•Check oil level with dipstick before starting engine.•Keep oil level at FULL mark on the dipstick.•Do not overfill.•Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours of use.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF#2, API certification mark and API service symbol (shown at left) with •SJ/ CF ENERGY CONSERVING" or high# er, is an acceptable oil at all temperatu# res. Use of synthetic oil does not al ter required oil change intervals.

GEAR CASE OIL RECOMMENDATION

CAUTION: The gear case is shipped from factory with oil. Engine oil and gear case oil are not interchangeable.

•Gear case holds approximately 118 cc or 4 oz.•Use a high quality 80W#90W gear oil.•Do not use special additives.Gear Case Lubrication

Drain and fill the gear case with fresh oil every 50 hours and at the end of the boating season.

FUEL

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

Type of Fuel to Use

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 77 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days.

Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

WARNING

Before refueling, allow engine to cool 2 minutes.

Adding Fuel

Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to refuel. Remove cap. Fill tank to approximately 1#1/2 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.

Replace cap and connect the fuel line to the outboard before starting.Keeping Fuel Fresh

For engine protection, we recommend use of Briggs & Stratton Fuel Fresh Gasoline Additive, Part No. 5041, available from any Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer. Mix additive with gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Run engine for a

short time to circulate additive through carburetor. Engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

INSTALLATION

Fig. 3

OUTBOARD PLACEMENT

 

WARNING

•The capacity plate on the boat shows the maximum horsepower allowable for your boat. DO NOT exceed this limit.

•DO NOT operate the boat until the outboard has been properly installed.

•Use the instructions below as a guide. Follow the boat manufacturer's recommendations to install the outboard to the boat.

1.Center the outboard Ê on the transom Ë.

2.Be sure the anti#ventilation plate Ì of the outboard is positioned below the bottom Íof the boat.

3.Tighten the clamp screws Îto secure the outboard to the transom.

CAUTION: Inspect clamps periodically for tightness to prevent engine from coming off transom.

4.Adjust the tilt pin to obtain a vertical position for the outboard. See Trim Angle.

5.Test the range of steering motion Ï. No part of the gear case or propeller should contact the transom.

Fig. 4

TRIM ANGLE

 

•The trim angle of the outboard can be adjusted to suit the transom angle and varying load conditions. Consult the boat manufacturer's instructions also.

•The outboard has six trim positions Ê.

•The ideal trim angle allows the anti#ventilation plate to run parallel Ë to the water surface.

•If the bow of the boat is above horizontal Ìput the tilt pin in a lower adjustment hole to move the outboard closer to the transom (example from hole •A" to hole •B" or •C").

•If the bow of the boat is below horizontal Íput the tilt pin in a higher adjustment hole to move the outboard farther from the transom (example from hole •F" to hole •E" or •D").

WARNING

•Do not adjust the trim angle while the engine is running.Tilt Outboard

WARNING

•The outboard can be tilted to gain clearance and avoid lower unit damage when landing the boat in shallow water.

The outboard cannot be locked in the UP position.

•Tilt the outboard using ONLY the tilt/carry handle Îat the rear of the outboard. Pull the tilt/carry handle in the direction Ïas shown to tilt the outboard.
