2. Recommended engine oil
Use a genuine engine oil or recommended
one. Refer to your Distributor.
Will not recommend use of other two
stroke engine oil.
Do not mix different brands of oil.
Mixing different brands of oil, or different
types of oil even if the brand is the same,
may cause gelling, resulting in possible
filter screen blockage. This could result
in serious engine damage because of
impaired lubrication performance.

Notes
●
Always use fresh gasoline. Fuel kept in the fuel
tank for a long period will produce varnish and
gum, which can damage the outboard and
create problems in running.
●
Use only fuel in which the gasoline and oil have
been well-mixed.
●
When Filling the fuel tank, be careful that no dust,
water or other foreign matter enters the tank.
●
Do not fill the fuel tank up to the top of the mouth ring.
●
After filling the tank, close the tank cap securely.
●
When carrying the fuel tank, close the air vent
screw and fuel cock securely, and drain the fuel
in the carburetor oil chamber completely by
removing the drain plug with a screwdriver.
