1. OUTBOARD IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Operator Responsibility l Honda BFI 15A and BFI 30A outboard motors are designed for use with boats that have a suitable manufacturer’spower recommendation.and other usescan result in injury to the operator or damageto the outboard motor and other property. l Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the outboard motor. The most common hazardsare discussedbelow, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.
1. OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY Refuel With Care l l l l Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine stopped.Never smokeneargasoline,and keep other flames and sparks away. Remove any portable fuel tank from the boat for refueling. Keep the portablefuel tank away from the battery or other potential spark sources. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.

After installing the engine cover, inspect the engine cover fastening condition and adjust it if necessary (page 46).
4. PRE-OPERATION Engine CHECKS Oil Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performanceand service life. Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage. Recommended oil:SAE low-30 or low-40 Use 4-stroke motor oil that meetsor exceedsthe requirements for API service classification SG or SH. Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH.
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Fuel Level (optional fuel tank) VENTKNOB FUEL GliUGE FUELCAP Check the fuel gauge and refill the tank to the SAFE FILL level mark if necessary. Fuel tank capacity : 6.6 US gal. (25 lit) m Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. . Stop engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. . Wipe up spills immediately. l Refilling Removethe fuel tank from the boat for refilling.
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Fuel Recommendations Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. These outboard motors are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasolineor an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Occasionally you may hear light “spark knock” or “pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads.
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Oxygenated Fuels Someconventional gasolinesare being blendedwith altohol or an ether compound.Thesr gasolinesare collectively referred to as oxygenatedfuels. To meetclean air standards.someareasof the United Statesand Canada useoxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If you use an oxygenatedfuel. be sure it is unleadedand meetsthe minimum octanerating requirement. Before using an oxygenatedfuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents.
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Propeller and cotter pin inspection m Thepropellerbladesare thin and sharp. Careless handling of the propeller can result in injury. when checking the propeller: . Remove the clip of the emergency stop switch to prevent accidental engine starting. . Wear heavy gloves when hadling the propeller. The propeller rotates rapidly while cruising. Before starting the engine, check the propeller blades for damageand deformation and replace if necessary.

The motor trim angle can be adjusted while accelerating or cruising to obtain the maximum boat speed,optimum boat stability, and fuel economy.
6. OPERATION (POWER TRIM/TILT) Dual-Mount Type Power Trim/Tilt Switchs ]NOTICE) Excessive trim/tilt angle during operation can cause the propeller to raise out of the water and cause propeller ventilation and engine over-revving.

6. OPERATION (POWER TRIM/TILT) Power Tilt Switch (Engine Pan) Manual Relief Valve MANUAL POWER’TILT SWITCH The power tilt switch located on the engine’pan is a convenience switch for tilting the motor for trailering, or performing outboard motor maintenance. This power tilt switch should only be operated when the boat is stopped and the engine is off. 70 If the power trim/tilt switch will not tilt the outboard motor, the motor can be manually tilted up or down by operating the manual relief valve.
6. OPERATION (POWER TRIM/TILT) TILT LOCK TILT LOCK LEVER Tilt Lock Lever Use the tilt lock lever when the boat is moored. 1. Xlt the motor up as far as it will go using the power trim/tilt switch. 2. Move the tilt lock lever to the LOCK position, and lower the outboard motor until1 the lock lever contacts the stern bracket (refer to page 34). It may be necessary to lift the engine cover grip slightly to swing the tilt lock lever into the LOCK position. 3.
6. OPERATION Trim Tab Adjustment TIGHTENING BOLT The trim tab is provided to adjust for “torque steer” which is a reaction of the propeller rotation or propeller torque. If during a high speed turn, an unequal amount of effort is required to turn the boat right or left, adjust the trim tab so that an equal amount of effort is required. Distribute the load evenly in the boat, and run the boat in a straightcourseat full throttle.
6. OPERATION (MOTOR PROTECTION Engine Oil Pressure, Overheat, PGM-FI, ACG Indicator Systems SYSTEM) OIL PRESSURE If the engine oil pressuredrops and/or the engine overheats,either or both indicator systemscould be activated. When activated, the engine speed will decreasegradually, the green oil pressureindicator light may turn OFF, and the red overheat indicator light may turn ON (seepage 74). A continuous buzzer will sound.
6.
6. OPERATION (MOTOR PROTECTION If the engine is turned off after running at full throttle, the engine temperaturemay rise above normal, If the engine is restated,shortly after being turned off, the overheat indicator system could be activated momentarily. When the oil pressure warning systems is activated: 1. Stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level (refer to page 40). 2. If the oil is up to the recommended level, restart the engine.
6.OtiERATION (MOTOR PROTECTIO:N SYSTEM) When the PGM-FI indicator system is activated. I. Consult with an authorized Honda outboard motor dealer. When the ACG indicator system is activated. 1. Check the battery. If the battery is OK, consult with an authorized Honda outboard motor dealer. Overrev Limiter This outboard motor is equipped with an engine overrev limiter which activates when the engine speed increases excessively.
6. OPERATION Shallow Water Operation Excessivetrim/tilt angle during operation can cause the propeller to raise out of the water and cause propeller ventilation and engine over revving. Excessive trim/tilt angle can also damage the water pump and overheat the engine. When operating in shallow water, tilt the motor up to preventthe propeller and gear casefrom hitting the bottom With the motor tilted up, operate the engine at low speed. Monitor the cooling systemindicator for water discharge.
