Warming up the engine Before driving the boat, let the engine run at low speed to let it warm and allow the oil to circulate through the engine. If the engine is not warmed up beforehand, the engine life will shorten greatly. This outboard engine automatically controls warm-up operation, namely, it runs at a speed slightly higher than idling just after it is started, and it reverts to the normal running at a preset speed after warm-up is complete. During the warm-up operation, confirm that cooling water is discharged from the check port and idle port. ! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Be sure to stop engine immediately if cooling water check port is not discharging water, and check if cooling water intake is blocked. Operating engine could lead to overheating potentially leading to engine damage. Consult an authorized dealer if the cause cannot be found. Engine speed Proper idle speed after warm-up operation. Clutch in (In gear) 700rpm Clutch off (Out of gear) 700rpm ! ! Do not shift to "F" or "R" until turning into proper idle speed. If cooling water is not discharged and engine operation is continued, the engine will overheat and damage occur. Do not exceed the full-throttle engine speed. Wide-open throttle rpm range 5, 150 5, 850rpm Idle port Cooling water check port 30·40·50 11 12 Idle port Cooling water check port 75·90·115 13 46 ENGINE OPERATION 3.

Before shifting into forward or reverse, make sure that boat is properly moored and outboard motor can be steered fully to the right and left. Make sure that no swimmer(s) is ahead or astern of the boat. EFO, EFTO type Turn the throttle grip toward "SLOW" and move the Shift Lever quickly to Forward or Reverse when the engine speed has reached the lowest rpm. Lock Reverse lock lever ! Attach other end of emergency stop switch tether to the operator's clothing or arm and keep it attached during cruising. Do not attach the tether to a part of clothing that can be torn easily when pulled. Arrange the tether so that will not be caught by any object when pulled. [. . . ] Check and replenish the gear case with case specified Gear Oil before storing the motor, to avoid water leakage into the gear case due to a loose lubricant vent plug or grease fill plug.
