SERVICING, REPLACEMENT PARTS & LUBRICANTS
Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance on the Raider. Training classes can be given or
questions answered by contacting
www.raideroutboards.com
. Be sure to use genuine Raider parts and
genuine Raider lubricants or recommended lubricants. 50:1 mix should be synthetic TC-W3 2-cycle oil.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspection at the prescribed intervals is critical.
The Raider motors will be subjected to drops,
submersion and other abuse typical outboards will never receive. The most critical maintenance, after
missions, is to wash down the motor with water and dry. When in salt water it is important to run fresh
water through the system. For long period of time storage a fogging spray can be used.
Trouble free
operation cannot be expended unless the engine receives adequate periodic maintenance. If
maintenance is performed periodically, it is not likely that a costly overhaul will ever be required.
A maintenance program is outlined later in this User’s Manual.
SUBMERSIBLE - DEWATERING INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions on how to dewater the Raider 50 is located on the top of the cowling. The steps to
dewater after submersion are as follows:
1.
Initiate dewatering valve. This opens valve that releases the water trapped between the
pistons and the heads.
2.
Pull rope starter slowly 8 – 10 times. The pistons will displace water out of engine.
3.
Keeping dewatering valve open; press “start” button. The pistons displace final water and
engine begins to start.
4.
If pull start is used, close valve, pull until starts. Primer valve can be pushed to assist
starting.
5.
Close dewatering valve. Engine starts.
6.
If operator detects water in Fuel system; press dewatering valve all the way in, press
rubber bulb on fuel line three times to eliminate fuel which is replaced by new fuel.
7.
Spark plugs rarely need changing; they are designed to operate in wet environment.
EPA LABEL
A label has been applied indicating the Raider 50 does not comply with EPA standards due to
Burning JP-5/JP-8 fuels.
USERS
Raider outboards are designed and built exclusively for the military under National Security
Exemption.
MULTIPLE FUELS
Raider 50 has been designed to operate with multiple fuels: JP-5/JP-8; jet A; kerosene; diesel and bio-
fuels as secondary fuels. Gasoline (minimum 87 octane) is primary fuel. To run heavy fuels each Fuel
Induction System (FIS) has two valves that must be turned to open position. When not using heavy
fuels close valves.
