STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Lower engine to running position and check the following:
• Fuel level
• Oil level (if separate lube oil tank)
• Engine mount secure
• Propeller clear
2. Loosen air-vent screw on fuel tank cap by 2 or 3 turns (if fitted)
3. Firmly connect fuel hose to both fuel tank and engine
4. Squeeze primer bulb until it becomes firm
5. Make sure engine is in neutral, and throttle grip on handle in START position
6. Clip lock plate onto emergency-stop switch and tie lanyard to your wrist
7. Pull out choke if starting cold engine
8. Start motor by pulling starter handle (manual) or pushing starter switch (electric)
9. Push choke back in
10. Ensure that water is coming out of the pilot hole and allow engine to warm up before moving off
11. Check fuel pump to ensure membrane is not torn out
12. Check carburetor to ensure that draining screw is not opened
If engine starts but stops almost immediately:
1. Check choke has been pushed back in
2. Checks 1 to 12 above
If engine starts but stops when gear is engaged:
1. Check propeller is not blocked
2. Inspect spark plugs and clean if necessary
If engine still fails to start seek mechanical advice
ENGINE OVERHEATS
1. Check water pump and thermostat operating correctly by checking if "tell-tale" water stream is at normal rate
2. Inspect/clear water intakes
3. Check oil level if separate lube oil tank is fitted
If problem cannot be rectified seek mechanical advice
Servicing after submersion
1. Remove engine cover and rinse powerhead with fresh water
2. Disconnect spark plug leads and remove spark plugs
3. Disconnect fuel lines from engine. Drain and clean all fuel lines and fuel tank
4. Place engine in horizontal position (spark plug openings down) and work all water out by slowly rotating flywheel
about 20 times or until there is no sign of water
5. Drain carburetor: place engine in upright position and remove carburetor for disassembly and draining
6. Disassemble, clean and flush the starter, electrical connectors and all electrical equipment with fresh water. Then
treat them with a water displacing electrical spray and thoroughly dry them before assembly
7. Inject outboard lubricant into spark plug holes
8. If engine shows evidence that sand may have entered it (sand under the engine cover or a slight grinding or
scraping when the flywheel is rotated) do not attempt to start the engine. It must be disassembled and cleaned.
9. Reassemble the parts. Start the engine and run for 30 minutes in fresh water.
10. If engine fails to start, remove spark plugs again and see if water is present on electrodes, if so, blow out water
and reinstall or replace with new plugs.
