• Before mounting or operating the outboard motor, read this entire manual. Read it should give
you an understanding of the motor and its operation.
• Before operating the boat, read any owner’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it and all labels.
Be sure you understand each item before operating.
• Do not overpower the boat with this outboard motor. Overpowering the boat could result in loss
of control. The rated power of the outboard should be equal to or less than the rated horsepower
capacity of the boat. If the rated horsepower capacity of the boat is unknown, consult the dealer
or boat manufacturer.
• Do not modify the outboard. Modifications could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use.
Incorrect propeller selection and incorrect use may not only cause engine damage, but also
adversely affect fuel consumption. Consult your dealer for correct use.
• Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. About 50% of all boating fatalities involve
intoxication.
• Have an approved personal flotation device (PFD) on board for every occupant. It is a good idea
to wear a PFD whenever boating. At a minimum, children and non-swimmers should always wear
PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when there are potentially hazardous boating conditions.
• Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Handle and store
gasoline carefully. Make sure there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel before starting the engine.
• This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
which may cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and
drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets.
• Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.
• Attach the engine stop switch lanyard cord to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg
while operation. If you accidentally leave the helm, the cord will pull from the switch, stopping
the engine.
• Know the marine laws and regulations where you will be boating ------and obey them.
• Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous
weather.

General information
Engine oil

Recommended engine oil:

4-stroke motor oil with a combination of the following SAE and API oil classifications
Engine oil type SAE:
10W-30 or 25W-40
Engine oil grade API:
SE, SF, SG, SH,SJ,SL
Engine oil quantity(excluding oil filter):
0.35L(0.37 US qt) (0.31 lmp.qt )
If the recommended engine oil grades are not available, select an alternative from the following
chart according to the average temperatures in your area.

All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the factory without engine oil.
Propeller selection
The performance of your outboard motor will be critically affected by your choice of propeller, as
an incorrect choice could adversely affect performance and could also seriously damage the
motor. Engine speed depends on the propeller size and boat load. If engine speed is too high or
too low for good engine performance, this will have an adverse effect on the engine.
For a greater operating load, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable as it enables the correct
engine speed to be maintained. Conversely, a larger-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller
operation load.

General information
NOTE
If the recommended engine oil grades are not available, select an alternative temperatures in your
area.

1. Propeller diameter in inches

2. Propeller pitch in inches
3. Type of propeller ( propeller mark )

NOTE
Select a propeller which will allow the engine to reach the middle or upper half of the operation
rage at full throttle with the maximum boat load. If operation conditions such as light boat loads
then allow the engine r/min to rise above the maximum recommended range, reduce the throttle
setting to maintain the engine in the proper operation range.

2. Engine stop lanyard switch

WARNING
Do not over tighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to
move throttle lever or grip, which could result in an accident.
When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster to maintain the desired throttle setting.

Engine stop lanyard switch

The stop switch lock must be attached to the engine stop switch for the engine to run. The hook
should be attached to a secure place on the operators clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator
fall overboard or leave the helm, the hook will pull out the stop switch lock, stopping ignition to
the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power.

9
Basic components
WARNING
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while
operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where is could
become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the
loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the stop switch lock removed.

Engine stop button

To open the ignition circuit and stop the engine, push this button.

Choke knob for pull type

To supply the engine with the rich fuel mixture required start, pull out this knob.

Basic components
Steering friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be set
according to operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the swivel bracket.

To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise.

To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.

WARNING
Do not over tighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to
steer, which could result in an accident.

Thrust rod
The position of the thrust rod determines the minimum trim angle of the outboard motor in
relation to the transom.

Tilt support lever

To keep the outboard motor in the tilted up position, lock the tilt support lever to the clamp
bracket.

Top cowling lock lever

To remove the engine top cowling, pull up the lock lever and lift off the cowling. When installing
the cowling, check to be sure it fits properly in the rubber seal. Then lock the cowling by moving
the lever(s) downward.

11
Basic components

A carrying handle is provided on the rear of the outboard motor. It enables you to carry the
outboard motor easily with one hand.

12
Operations
Installation
CAUTION
Incorrect engine height or obstructions to smooth water flow (such as the design or condition of
the boat, or accessories such as transom ladders or depth finder transducers) can create airborne
water spray while the boat is cruising. Severe engine damage may result if the motor is operated
continuously in the presence of airborne water spray.

NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its maximum load. Check that
the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the
powerhead, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running

Mounting the outboard motor

WARNING
• Overpowering a boat could cause se vere instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more
horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a
capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
• The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. It is not possible to
provide complete instructions for every possible boat and motor combination. Proper mounting
depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination.
Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions such as poor
handling, loss of control, or fire hazards. Observe the following:
• For permanently mounted models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging
should mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself, you should be trained by an
experienced person.
• For portable models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper outboard motor mounting
should show you how to mount your motor.

Mount the outboard motor on the center line(keel line) of the boat, and ensure that the boat itself
is well balanced. Otherwise the boat will be hard to steer. For boats without a keel or which are
asymmetrical, consult your dealer.

1.Center line(keel line)

13
Operations
Mounting height
To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the water resistance (drag) of the boat and outboard
motor must be made as little as possible. The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly
affects the water resistance. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus
reducing the propulsion; and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine speed will rise abnormally
and cause the engine to overheat. If the mounting height is too low, the water resistance will
increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that the anticavitation
plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 30-50mm (1.2-2 in.) below it.

NOTE:
• The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs at different heights can help determine the optimum
mounting height. Consult your boat manufacturer for further information on determining the
proper mounting height.

Clamping the outboard motor

1. Place the outboard motor on the transom so that it is positioned as close to the center as
possible. Tighten the transom clamp screws evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp
screws for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose
due to engine vibration.
WARNING
Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This could
cause loss of control and serious injury. Make sure the transom screws are tightened securely.
Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.

14
Operations
2. If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped on your engine, an engine restraint cable or
chain should be used. Attach one end to the engine restraint cable attachment and the other to a
secure mounting point on the boat. Otherwise the engine could be completely lost if it
accidentally falls off the transom.

Breaking in engine
Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in
evenly. Correct break-in will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life.

CAUTION
Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine
damage.

Procedure for 4-stroke models

Run the engine under load (in gear with a propeller installed) as follows.
1. For the first hour of operation:
Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately half throttle.
2. For the second hour of operation:
Run the engine at 4000 r/min or at approximately three-quarter throttle.
3. For the next eight hours of operation:
Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time.
4. After the first 10 hours:
Operate the engine normally.
Pre-operation checks
WARNING
If any item in the preoperation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired
before operating the outboard motor. Otherwise an accident could occur.

CAUTION
Do not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur.

Fuel
• Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip.
• Make sure there are no feel leaks or gasoline fumes.

15
Operations
Controls
• Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.
• The controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play.
• Look for loose or damaged connections.
• Check operation of the starter and stop switches when the outboard motor is in the water.
Engine
• Check the engine and engine mounting.
• Look for loose or damaged fasteners.
• Check the propeller for damage.
Checking the engine oil level
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).
2. Check the oil level using the oil filler cap to be sure the level falls between the upper and lower
marks. Fill with oil if it is below the lower mark, or drain to the specified level if it is abovethe
uppper mark.

Filling fuel for built-in tank

WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. Keep away from sparks, cigarettes,
flames, or other sources of ignition.

1. With the outboard motor tilted down (in the vertical running position), remove the fuel tank cap.
2. Use a funnel if the nozzle on the fuel can or pump is not small enough or long enough to fit into the
mouth of the fuel tank.
3. Fill the fuel tank carefully.
4. Securely close the cap after refueling. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

Operation engine
WARNING
• Before starting the engine, make sure that the boat is tightly moored and that you can steer clear
of any obstructions. Be sure there are no swimmers in the water near you.
• When the air vent screw is loosened, gasoline vapor will be released. Gasoline is highly
flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Refrain from smoking, and keep away
from open flames and sparks while loosening the air vent screw.
• This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
which could cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and
drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets.

1. Loosen the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap by one turn.

2. Open the fuel cock

Starting engine
Manual start models
1.Place the gear shift lever in neutral.

Always start the engine in neutral to avoid accidentally moving the boat.

17
Operations

2.If the engine stop switch lanyard is equipped, attach it to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop
switch.
WARNING
• Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while
operating.
• Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where it
could become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
• Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the
loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.

3. Place the throttle grip in the “START” (start) position.

4.Place the choke knob in the “START” (start) position. After the engine starts, return the knob to
the “RUN” (run) position.

18
Operations

NOTE:
• When restarting a warm engine, place the choke knob in the ‘RUN” (run) position.
• If the choke knob is left in the “START” (start) position while the engine is running, the engine
will run poorly or stall.
5. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight
out to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.

6. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to the original position before
releasing it.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.
NOTE:
• When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up.
• If the engine does not start on the first try, repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to start after 4
or 5 tries, open the throttle a small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try again. Also if the
engine is warm and fails to start, open the throttle a same amount and try to start the engine
again.

Warming up engine
Manual start models
1. After starting the engine, return the choke knob to the halfway position. For approximately the
first 5 minutes after starting, warm up the engine by operating at one fifth throttle or less. After
the engine has warmed up, push the choke knob in fully. Failure to do so will shorten engine
life.
CAUTION
·If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.
·In temperatures of -5°C or less, leave the choke knob pulled out fully for approximately 30
seconds after starting.

19
Operations
2. Check for a steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole.
CAUTION
A continuous flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole shows that the water pump is
pumping water through the cooling passages. If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times
while the engine is running, overheating and serious damage could occur. Stop the engine and
check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water pilot hole is blocked.
Consult your dealer if the problem cannot be located and corrected.

Shifting
WARNING
Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you.

NOTE:
To change the boat direction or shifting position from forward to reverse or viceversa, first close
the throttle so that the engine idles (or runs at low speeds).

Forward
1. Place the throttle grip in the fully closed position.

2. Move the gear shift lever quickly and firmly from neutral to forward .
When

N F

20
Operations

WARNING
When operating in reverse, go slowly. Do not open the throttle more than half. Otherwise the boat
could become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an accident.

Stopping engine
Before stopping the engine, first let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or Iow speed. Stopping the
engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended.
Procedure
1. Push and hold the engine stop button until the engine comes to a complete stop.
2. After stopping the engine, tighten the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap and set the fuel cock
lever or knob to the closed position.
If the outboard motor is equipped with an engine stop switch lanyard, the engine can also be
stopped by pulling the lanyard and removing the lock plate from the engine stop switch.
Trimming outboard motor
The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the
water. Correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain
on the engine. Correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine, and propeller.
Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the lead in the boat, sea conditions, and running
speed.
Excessive trim for the operating conditions (either trim up or trim down) can cause boat
instability and can make steering the boat more difficult. This increases the possibility of an
accident. If the boat begins to feel unstable or is hard to steer, slow down and/or readjust the trim
angle.

Adjusting trim angle

There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the trim rod from the clamp bracket while slightly tilting the outboard motor up.

WARNING
3. Reposition the rod in the desired hole.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod away from the transom.
To lower the bow (“trim-in’), move the rod toward the transom.
Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to find the position that works best for your
boat and operating conditions.

21
Operations

NOTE:
Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle.
Use care to avoid being pinched when removing or installing the rod.
Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for
any signs of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.

The outboard motor trim angle can be changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting the trim rod
one hole.
Adjusting boat trim
When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency.
This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the
boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you
steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help offset this effect. When the bow of the boat is
down, it is easier to accelerate from a standing start onto plane.

Bow Up
Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water. Performance and economy are
decreased because the hull of the boat is pushing the water and there is more air drag . Excessive
trim-out can also cause the propeller to ventilate, which reduces performance further, and the
boat may “porpoise” (hop in the water), which could throw the operator and passengers
overboard.

Bow Down
Too much trim-in causes the boat to “plow” through the water, decreasing fuel economy and
making it hard to increase speed. Operating with excessive trim-in at higher speeds also makes
the boat unstable. Resistance at tile bow is greatly increased, heightening the danger of “bow
steering” and making operation difficult and dangerous.

22
Operations

NOTE:
Depending on the type of boat, the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of
the boat when operating.

Tilting up and down

If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows , the outboard
motor should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with
obstructions , and also to reduce salt corrosion.

WARNING
Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful not to
pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.

WARNING
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Tighten the air vent screw and place the fuel cock in the closed
position if the outboard motor will be tilted for more than a few minutes.Otherwise fuel may leak.

CAUTION
• Before tilting the outboard motor, follow the procedure under “Stopping engine’’ in this chapter.
Never tilt the outboard motor while the engine is running. Severe damage from overheating can
result.
• Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the tiller handle because this could break the handle.
Keep the power unit higher than the propel let at all times. Otherwise water could run into the
cylinder and cause damage.
• The outboard motor cannot be tilted when in reverse.

Transporting and storing outboard motor

WARNING
• Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When transporting and storing the outboard motor, close the air
vent screw and fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking.
• USE CARE when transporting fuel tank, whether in a boat or car.
• DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum capacity. Gasoline will expand considerably as it warms
up and can build up pressure in the fuel container. This can cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
hazard.

WARNING
Never get under the lower unit while it is tilted, even if a motor support bar is used. Severe injury
could occur if the outboard motor accidentally falls.

CAUTION
Do not use the tilt support lever when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose
from the tilt support and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in the normal running position, use
an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position.

The outboard motor should be trailered and stored in the normal running position. If there is
insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the outboard motor in the tilt position
using a motor support device such as a transom saver bar.
Clamp screw mounting models
When transporting or toring the outboard motor while removed from a boat, keep the outboard
motor in the attitude shown.

29
Maintanance

NOTE:
Place a towel or something similar under the outboard motor to protect it from damage.
Storing outboard motor
When storing your outboard motor for prolonged periods of time (2 months or longer), several
important procedures must be performed to prevent excessive damage.
CAUTION
• To prevent problems which can be caused by oil entering the cylinder from the sump, keep the
outboard motor in the attitude shown when transporting and storing it. If storing or transporting
the outboard motor on its side (not upright), put it on a cushion alter draining the engine oi1.
• Do not place the outboard motor on its side before the cooling water has drained from it
completely, otherwise water may enter the cylinder through the exhaust port and cause engine
trouble.
• Store the outboard motor in a dry, wellventilated place, not in direct sunlight.

Procedure
Flushing in a test tank
CAUTION
Do not run the engine without supplying it with cooling water. Either the engine water pump will
be damaged or the engine will be damaged from overheating. Befor starting the engine, be sure to
supply water to the cooling water passages.

1.Wash the outboard motor body using fresh water.

2. Place the fuel cock in the closed position. Tighten the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap.
3. Remove the engine top cowling and silencer cover.
4. Istall the outboard motor on the test tank.

30
Maintanance

1.Water surface
2.Lowest water level

5. Fill the tank with fresh water to above the level of the anti-cavitation plate.
CAUTION
If the fresh water level is below the level of the anti-cavitation plate, or if the water supply is
insufficient, engine seizure may occur.

6. Run the engine at a fast idle for a few minutes in neutral position.
WARNING
• Do not touch or remove electrical parts when starting or during operation.
• Keep hands, hair, and clothes away from the flywheel and other rotating parts while the engine is
running.

7. Just prior to turning off the engine, quickly spray “Fogging Oil” into each carburetor. When
properly done, the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall.
NOTE:
Cooling system flushing is essential to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt,
sand, or dirt. In addition, fogging/lubricating of the engine is mandatory to prevent excessive
engine damage due to rust. Perform the flushing and fogging at the same time.

8. If “Fogging Oil” is not available, run the engine at a fast idle until the fuel system empties and
the engine stops.
9. Loosen the air vent screw by one turn.
10. Remove the grommet. Place a container under the carburetor drain hole to catch the gasoline,
and then drain screw.

31
Maintanance

11. Tighten the drain screw. Install the grommet.

12. Place the fuel cock in the closed position. Tighten the air vent screw.
13. If “Fogging Oi1” is not available, remove the spark plug. Pour a teaspoonful of clean engine
oil into the cylinder. Crank several times manually. Replace the spark plug.
14. Remove the outboard motor from the test tank.
15. Install the silencer cover and top cowling.
16. Drain the cooling water completely out of the motor. Clean the body thoroughly.
Lubrication
1. Grease the spark plug threads and install the spark plug(s) and torque to proper specification.
2. Change the gear oil.Inspect the oil for the presence of water that indicates a leaky seal.
3. Grease all grease fittings.
Cleaning the outboard motor
After use, wash the exterior of the outboard motor with fresh water. Flush the cooling system with
fresh water.

32
Maintanance
Checking painted surface of motor
Check the motor for scratches, nicks, or flaking paint. Areas with damaged paint are more likely
to corrode, if necessary, clean and paint the areas.
Periodic maintenance
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the engine when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. If you
or the owner is not familiar with machine servicing, this work should be done by your HIDEA
dealer or other qualified mechanic.

Replacement parts
If replacement parts are necessary, use only genuine HIDEA parts or parts of the same type and of
equivalent strength and materials. Any part of inferior quality may malfunction, and the resulting
loss of control could endanger the operator and passengers. HIDEA genuine parts and accessories
are available from your HIDEA dealer.

33
Maintanance

Maintenance chart
Frequency of maintenance operations may be adjusted according to the operating conditions, but
the following table gives general guidelines. Refer to the sections in this chapter for explanations
of each owner-specific action.

When operating in salt water, turbid or muddy water, the engine should be flushed with clean
water after each use.

Greasing
Water resistant grease

WARNING
When removing or installing a spark plug, be careful not to damage the insulator. A damaged
insulator could allow external sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire.

The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the
spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine. For example, if the center
electrode porcelain is very white, this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in
that cylinder. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the outboard motor
to a HIDEA dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and
deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes
excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark plug with
another of the correct type.
Standard spark plug:
BR6HS

35
Maintanance
Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the
gap to specification if necessary.

1. Spark plug gap

2. Spark plug I.D. mark (NGK)

Spark plug gap:

0.8-1.0mm (0.031-0.039 in)

When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt
from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque

Spark plug torque:

25.0 Nm (18.4ft-lb)(2.55kgf-m)

WARNING
If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the
cerrect torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past fingertight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the correct
torque as soon as possible with a torque wrench.

Checking fuel system

WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. Keep away from sparks, cigarettes,
flames, or other sources of ignition.

WARNING
Leaking fuel can result in fire or explosion.
• Check for fuel leakage regularly.
• If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel system must be repaired by a qualified mechanic. Improper
repairs can make the outboard unsafe to operate.

Check the fuel lines for leaks, crack, or maifunction. If a problem is found, your HIDEA dealer or
other qualified mechanic should repair it immediately.

36
Maintanance
Checkpoints
• Fuel system parts leakage
• Fuel line joint leakage
• Fuel line cracks or other damage
• Fuel connector leakage
Inspecting idling speed
WARNING
Do not touch or remove electrical parts when starting or during operation.
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away from the flywheel and other rotating parts while the engine is
running.

CAUTION
This procedure must be performed while the outboard motor is in the water. A flushing
attachment or test tank can be used.

A diagnostic tachometer should be used for this procedure. Results may vary depending on
whether testing is conducted with the flushing attachment, in a test tank, or with the outboard
motor in the water.
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up fully in neutral until it is running smoothly.
NOTE:
Correct idling speed inspection is only possible if the engine is fully warmed up. If not warmed
up fully, the idle speed will measure higher than normal. If you have difficulty verifying the idle
speed, or the idle speed requires adjustment, consult a HIDEA dealer or other qualified mechanic.

2. Verify whether the idle speed is set to specification. For idle speed specifications, see page 23
Changing engine oil
WARNING
• Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should be
handled with care to avoid burns.

WARNING
The outboard motor can be seriously damaged by a collision while operating or trailering.
Damage could make the outboard motor unsafe to operate.

If the outboard motor hits an object in the water, follow the procedure below.

1. Stop the engine immediately.

2. Inspect the control system and all components for damage. Also inspect the boat for damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return to the nearest harbor slowly and carefully.
4. Have a HIDEA dealer inspect the outboard motor before operating it again.
Starter will not operate
If the starter mechanism does not operate (the engine cannot be cranked with the starter), the
engine can be started with an emergency starter rope.
WARNING
• Use this procedure only in an emergency and only to return to port for repairs.
• When the emergency starter rope is used to start the engine, the start-in-gear protection device
does not operate. Make sure the remote control lever is in neutral. Otherwise the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which could result in an accident.
• Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while
operating.
• Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the cord where it could
become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
• Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the
loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward.
• Be sure no one is standing behind you when pulling lhe starter rope. It could whip behind you
and injure someone.
• An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very dangerous. Keep loose clothing and other objects away
when starting the engine. Use the emergency starter rope only as instructed. Do not touch the
flywheel or other moving parts when the engine is running. Do not install the starter mechanism
or top cowling after the engine is running.
