Troubleshooting
The engine fails to Start
Check fuel from the outside of the fuel tank
Check the fuel flow in the fuel return tube by pressing the priming pump several time.
Remove the spark plug.
If the engine still does not start, take the engine to your nearest service department.
Introduction
This outboard motor has been designed and is intended for the skippers of small boats (carrying capacity less than 4 people),
powered by outboard motors and operating in near waters.
Operating the outboard motor
1. Manual start recoil handle
2. Choke knob
3. Rod for adjusting trim angle
4. Throttle control & steering handle
5. Rope attachment
6. Emergency-stop (kill) switch, lock plate and lanyard
7. Shallow-water lever for raising motor
8. Tilt lock for preventing accidental starting of the motor
9. Propeller
Attention!
Fill the appropriate amount of oil
before starting the engine (0.6L)
Portable fuel tanks for outboard motors are fitted with a manual priming bulb. It is squeezed a few times to draw fuel when
first starting the engine or to continue to provide fuel to the engine in case of fuel pump failure. Care must be taken to ensure
that the bulb is not over squeezed as this may cause leaks in the fuel system or flood the engine with too much fuel, making it
difficult to start. The bulb should be squeezed only until it becomes firm.
The tank is also fitted with a breather screw, which must be loosened to vent the tank when operating the engine. Ensure the
breather screw is fully closed when transporting the tank to prevent spillage.
Internal Lubrication System
The gasoline engines are lubricated by oil circulation from the sump (crankcase). Insufficient oil will cause the engine to
overheat and eventually seize. Excessive oil will foul the spark plugs, cause smoky exhaust and heavy carbon deposits.
Both will cause engine failure. Add 100ml of oil.
Mounting An Outboard Motor
The method of securing an outboard motor to the vessel use of hand-tightened screw thread clamps. These clamp the
transom of the vessel between the engine mounting bracket and the screw thread plates. Their tightness should be checked
each time the engine is used. A safety rope or chain should also be used to secure the motor to the vessel and prevent the
motor from dropping from the boat if the clamps get loose during vessel operation. On larger outboard motors, the mounting
bracket is usually bolted through the transom plate. This is a more secure method, but regular checks must be made for
looseness.
