Predelivery checks
1
To make the delivery process smooth and
efficient, the predelivery checks should be
completed as explained below.
Checking the fuel system
1. Check that the fuel hoses are securely
connected and that the fuel tank is full
with fuel.
CAUTION:
This is a 4-stroke engine. Do not use pre-
mixed fuel and 2-stroke outboard motor
oil.
Checking the gear oil
1. Check the gear oil level.
Checking the engine oil
1. Check the oil level.
NOTE:
• If the engine oil is above the maximum level
mark
a
, drain sufficient oil until the level is
between
a
and
b
.
• If the engine oil is below the minimum level
mark
b
, add sufficient oil until the level is
between
a
and
b
.
Checking the battery
1. Check the capacity, electrolyte level, and
specified gravity of the battery.
2. Check that the red and black battery
cables are securely connected.
Checking the outboard motor
mounting height
1. Check that the anti-cavitation plate is
aligned with the bottom of the boat. If the
mounting height is too high, cavitation
will occur and propulsion will be reduced.
Also, the engine speed will increase
abnormally and cause the engine to
overheat. If the mounting height is too
low, water resistance will increase and
reduce engine efficiency.
