Care of your outboard motor
To keep your outboard motor in the best
operating condition, it is very important
that you perform daily and periodic
maintenance as suggested in the mainte-
nance schedules as follows.
ENOW00077-1
z
Your personal safety and that of your pas-
sengers depends on how well you main-
tain your outboard motor. Carefully read
all of the inspection and maintenance
procedures described in this section.
z
The maintenance intervals shown in the
checklist apply to an outboard motor in
normal use. If you use your outboard
motor under severe conditions such as
frequent full-throttle operation, frequent
operation in brackish water, or for com-
mercial use, maintenance should be per-
formed at shorter intervals. If in doubt,
consult your dealer for advice.
z
We strongly recommend that you use only
genuine replacement parts on your out-
board motor. Damage to your outboard
motor arising from the use of other than
genuine parts is not covered under the
warranty.
