PREPARE the ENGINE to RUN
Mount the engine on the transom of a boat or securely
on a stable work stand. The stability of a stand is highly
important. An outboard engine has a high center of gravity
and you can easily topple it onto yourself when pulling
hard on the starter rope. Be Safe!
The lower unit of the engine MUST be immersed in water.
Never attempt to start the engine out of the water.
Water pump damage can happen in a few seconds.
ADD OIL
Engines are shipped without oil and
must be filled
before starting. Remove the engine cover and un-
screw the yellow plastic oil fill cap on the tiller side
of the engine.
Pour in 12 ounces (.35 L) of 10W-30 engine oil
(about 1/3 of a quart)
.
The oil may not be visible in the sight glass
at first
but will be once the engine starts running.

Manual.
LEHR requires that operators read the operator’s manual before using the engine.
