OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

WARNING: If anything in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired
                  before operating the outboard motor.  Failure to do so could result in an accident.  

CONTROLS

‡

 Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine. 

‡

 The controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play.

‡

 Look for loose or damaged connections.

‡

 Check operation of the starter and stop switches when the outboard motor is in the water.

‡

 If the engine has not been used in some time, rev it in neutral to be sure it returns to idle before putting it 

  in gear.

ENGINE

‡

 Check the engine and engine mounting.

‡

 Look for loose or damaged fasteners.

‡

 Check the propeller for damage.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

1.  Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).
2.  Insert the oil dipstick all the way in.  Pull it out and check the oil level using the oil dipstick to be sure 
     the level falls between the upper and lower marks.  Fill with oil if it is below the lower mark, or drain to 
     the specified level if it is above the upper mark.

Recommended engine oil: 
Use a quality 4-stroke motor oil.

Engine oil type:
10W-30 

Engine oil quantity:
0.80 US qt (0.8L)    

WARNING: 

ALL ENGINES ARE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITHOUT ENGINE OIL.  

                  ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.

FUEL

‡

 Use a LEHR Liquid Draw propane tank or any DOT approved propane tank.

‡

 Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip.

‡

 Make sure there are no fuel leaks or propane fumes. 

REFUELING INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING: PROPANE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND E

;

PLOSIVE!

‡

 Stop engine before refueling.

‡

 Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition.

‡

 Refuel in a well-ventilated area.  

‡

 Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat.

‡

 Have your propane tanks refilled or exchanged at a certified propane refueling or exchange center.

USE THE CORRECT PROPANE TANK

NOTE: Use of a LEHR Liquid Draw tank is recommended.

A standard U.S. 20 lb. DOT approved propane tank may be used, however extended use at high R.P.M. may
result in slowed engine performance.
