Procedure

Fuel System Preparation and Engine Starting

1. Full open the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap. 2. Loosen the tank cap until it contacts the tab lock and release internal pressure completely. After that, close the tank cap until two clicks sound is heard. 3. Connect the fuel connector to the engine and fuel tank by pushing and inserting the connector. 4. Squeeze primer bulb until it becomes stiff to feed fuel to vapor separator. Direct arrow mark upward when priming. WARNING: Do not squeeze primer bulb with engine running or when the outboard motor is tilted up. Otherwise, fuel could overflow. 5. Start the engine. When starting in a test tank, ensure the water level is at least 10 cm (4 in.) above the anti-ventilation plate, and run the engine only at idling. WARNING: When the engine is started in the test tank, to avoid overheating and water pump damage, be sure the water level is at least 10 cm (4 in.) above the anti ventilation plate. Run the engine only at idling.
