Using The Evinrude MFE Outboard
OIL SYSTEM PRIMING
The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a
lack of lubrication.
Prime the oiling system to remove air from the
system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run out
of oil;
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
If available, use the Evinrude Diagnostics
Software program oil priming function for a
minimum of 90 seconds.
If the diagnostics program is not available,
prime the oiling system by using the winteriza-
tion procedure. Refer to Long-Term Storage
(Winterization) on page 42.
Observe oil flow through the oil distribution
hoses.
Small bubbles are acceptable. Large bubbles
must be eliminated through continued prim-
ing.
OILING SYSTEM OPERATION
Break-In
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM. No other action is required
by the operator.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT add oil in the fuel
tank.
NO OIL Warning System
When the level in the oil tank falls below one-
quarter:
• The
EMM interrupts the ignition periodically
to signal the operator.
The EMM then calculates remaining oil level
based on oil pump pulse cycles. When it de-
termines the oil has been used, the EMM :
• Limits engine speed.
To recover from NO OIL mode, stop the out-
board and add oil to tank. The warning resets
after the pump cycles for a minimum of three
pulses with the oil level above one-quarter.
