11/03/09 17:34:07 31ZZ3610_008 OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The Honda BF60A/BFP60A 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 injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the outboard motor.
11/03/09 17:34:15 31ZZ3610_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.

11/03/09 17:50:38 31ZZ3610_100 STORAGE Fuel Depending on the region where you operate your outboard, f uel f ormulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 15 days and may cause damage to the f uel system. Please check with your servicing dealer f or local storage recommendations. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system.
11/03/09 17:50:51 31ZZ3610_101 STORAGE Draining the Fuel System You can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and vapor separator. Before draining and checking the fuel system, check the fuel filter for contamination and/ or water accumulation. The fuel filter must be free of any contamination before proceeding (p. 90 ). Draining the vapor separator will not drain the fuel filter bowl. TUBE CLAMPER VAPOR SEPARATOR DRAIN SCREW DRAIN TUBE 100 1.
11/03/09 17:51:02 31ZZ3610_102 STORAGE 5. Tilt the outboard motor up until gasoline flows out of the drain tube. 6. Leave it in that position until the gasoline stops flowing. 7. After thoroughly draining, tighten the drain screw securely. 8. Check the drained gasoline for the presence of water or contamination. If either is present, you will have to reassemble and run the outboard to refill the vapor separator with gasoline and then drain it again.
11/03/09 17:51:16 31ZZ3610_103 STORAGE Engine Oil HOISTING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR 1. Change the engine oil (p. 81 ). 2.
