INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
FUEL AND OIL PRIMING
Fuel System Priming
Vent Line Clamp
In compliance with Code of Federal Regulations,
49 CFR §173.220, all outboards utilizing a fuel
vapor separator must be shipped with a vent line
clamp installed. This clamp must be removed prior
to attempting to prime the fuel system or start the
outboard for the first time.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to remove the clamp may
cause fuel starvation and poor running qualities.
Priming the Fuel System
Insert the fuel supply hose from the fuel tank into a
suitable container. Squeeze the fuel primer bulb or
activate the boat-mounted electric fuel primer until
fuel flows from the fuel hose.
Once fuel flow is observed, connect fuel supply
hose from fuel tank to hose fitting on outboard.
Secure hose with
Oetiker
clamp.
Route fuel supply hose through flexweave sleeve
if necessary. The fuel primer bulb must be acces-
sible.
Use the primer to fill the outboard’s fuel system.
Once the fuel system has filled, pressurize the
fuel supply hoses by squeezing the fuel primer
bulb or momentarily activating the boat-mounted
electric fuel primer.
Observe all fuel lines, both in the boat and on the
outboard. Repair any fuel leaks.
The high-pressure fuel circuits and injectors will
prime as the outboard is cranked with the starter.
