OPERATION
51
Wash the outboard exterior and flush out the exhaust outlet of the propeller
and gearcase with fresh water after each use. Each month, spray Mercury
Precision or Quicksilver Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces. Do
not spray on corrosion control anodes as this will reduce the effectiveness
of the anodes.
Operating at High Elevations
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious damage to the engine caused by a lean
fuel mixture, do not operate your outboard (if the jets were changed for high
elevation) at a lower elevation unless the jets are changed again to
correspond to the new elevation.
Operating your outboard at an elevation higher than 750 m (2500 ft.) above
sea level may require a carburetor jet change and/or different pitch
propeller. Consult your dealer. This will reduce the normal performance
loss experienced as a result of reduced oxygen in the air causing an overly
rich fuel mixture.
Operating Outboard As An Auxiliary Engine
If the outboard is used as an auxiliary engine, stop the engine and tilt the
outboard out of the water when using the main power source.
IMPORTANT: The outboard must be restrained from bouncing while
operating the boat using the main power source. Bouncing can damage
the outboard and boat transom.
Pre-Starting Instructions
1. Connect the remote fuel line to the outboard. Make sure connector is
snapped into place.
