04/01/21 11:08:32 31ZY6600_008 OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Honda BF135A/BF150A outboard motors are designed for use with boats that have a suitable manufacturer’s power recommendation. Other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to the outboard motor and other property. Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the outboard motor.
04/01/21 11:08:38 31ZY6600_009 OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY Refuel With Care Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel outdoors, in a wellventilated area, with the engine stopped. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

04/01/21 11:12:53 31ZY6600_034 BEFORE OPERATION ARE YOU READY TO GET UNDER WAY? Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. Safety Always wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) while on the boat. Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to your PFD or to your wrist. Knowledge Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them.
04/01/21 11:13:08 31ZY6600_035 BEFORE OPERATION Safety Inspection Look around the outboard motor for signs of oil or gasoline leaks. Check that the fuel hose is undamaged and properly connected. Wipe up any spills before starting the engine. Maintenance Inspection Check the engine oil level (p. 60 ). Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. Check to be sure the propeller is undamaged, and the castle nut is secured with the cotter pin (p. 77 ).
04/01/21 11:13:21 31ZY6600_036 OPERATION SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS BREAK-IN PROCEDURE Break-in period: 10 hours Next 60 minutes: Run the engine up to a maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about 50% to 80% of maximum throttle opening. To safely realize the full potential of this outboard motor, you need a complete understanding of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its controls.
04/01/21 11:13:32 31ZY6600_037 OPERATION FUEL PRIMING UP OUTLET END (motor) PRIMING BULB INLET END (tank) Hold the priming bulb up in the direction of the arrow, then squeeze the priming bulb several times until it feels firm, indicating that fuel has reached the engine. Check to be sure there are no fuel leaks before starting the engine. Do not squeeze the priming bulb when the engine is running. 36 Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
