If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. if leaded gasoline is usually used, engine valves and related parts should be inspected after every 100 hours of operation. Ay WARNING: # Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition. * Stop engine before refueling. © Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat. * Do not overfill the fuel tank. * Take care not to spill gasoline, if gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately. © Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling. * If you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eye, get immediate medical attentions. * If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gasoline spills on it. * Touch the fuel nozzle to metal components to prevent electrostatic sparks.CAUTION: Use only new clean gasoline which has been stored in clean containers and is not contaminated with water or foreign matter.

The outboard motor is fitted with, propellers chosen to perform well over a range of applications, but there may be uses where a propeller with a different pitch would be more appropriate. “PARSUNT dealers stock a range of propellers and can advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your 5application For a greater boat load and a low engine speed, a smaller-pitch propeller is more: suitable. Conversely, a large-pitch propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load as it enables the correct engine speed to be maintained.Operation 2.1 Installation Mount the outboard motor on the center line (Keel line) of the boat. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical, consult your dealer. 1. Center line (kee! line) 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 power head, when water rises due to waves when the outboard is not running. AS WARNIN * Overpowering a boat could cause severe 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. * Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions. For 7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. * The information presented in this section is intended as reference only. Proper mounting depends in part on experience and the specific boat and motor combination. 2.1.1 Mounting height ‘The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects your boat running efficiency. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to ocour, thus reducing the propulsion. If the mounting height is too low, the water resistance will Increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a level 25mm below it. aNOTE: The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the ‘optimum mounting height. For further information, consult your “PARSUN” dealer or boat manufacturer. 2.1.2 Clamping the outboard motor 4. Tighten the transom clamp screw 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. CAUTION: Outboards that use clamp bracket screws alone are kf | 1 INSUFFICIENT to properly and safely secure the outboard to the Transom. Proper installation of the outboard includes bolting the engine to the boat through the transom. & WARNING: Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This could cause loss of control. © Make sure the clamp screws are tightened securely. Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.2. Ifthe engine restraint cable attachment is equipped on your engine, an engine restraint cable or chain should be used. Attach to. secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the engine being completely lost ifit accidentally falls off the transom. 3. Secure the clamp bracket to the transom using the appropriate bolts. For details, consult your PARSUN dealer. AS WARNING: Avoid using bolts, nuts or washers inappropriate. After tightening, test running the engine and check their tightness. 2.2 Breaking in engine Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly. 10Gasoline and oil mixing: 25:4 Break-in period | Gasoline | tL | 12L | 14t | 24L Engine oil | 0.4L | 0.48 | 0.56L | 0.96L CAUTION: Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage. 1. First 10 minutes: Run the engine at idle. 2. Next 50 minutes: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately half throttle. 3. Next 2 hours of operation: Run the engine at 4000 r/min or at approximately three-quarter throttle. 4. Next 7 hours of operation: Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time. 5. Operate the engine normally. cr2.3 Pre-operation checks Fuel # Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip, * Make sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes. # Check fuel line connections to be sure they are tight, ‘* Be sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not twisted or flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects, 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. 4S WARNING: If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and rey before operating the outboard motor. Otherwise an accident could occur. 12CAUTION: Do not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur. 2.4 Filling fuel 4S WARNING: Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. Keep away from sparks, cigarettes, flames, or other sources of ignition. 1. Remove the fuel tank cap. 2. Carefully fll the fuel tank. 3. Securely close the cap atter fing the tank. Wipe up any spilled fuel 132.5 Starting engine 1. Loosen the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap, 2 or 3 turns. 2. Connect fuel joints securely and squeeze the primer pump with the outlet end up until you feel it become firm (if equipped the fuel joint). BS 3. Place the gear shift lever in neutral AX WARNING: # The engine must be started in neutral otherwise damage to the starter can occur, 14Do not route the lanyard + Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loos 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 steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow Tapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward. NOTE: The start-in-gear protection device prevents the engine from starting except when in neutral. Attach the engine a stop switch lanyard to 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, 4. Place the throttle grip in the “START: (start) position 415Pull out the choke knob fully. NOTE: * Itis not necessary to use the choke when starting a warm engine. « If the choke is left in the “START” (start) position while the engine is running, the engine will run poorly or stall. 6. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight to crank and start the engine. Repeat if necessary. 167. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to its original position before releasing it. 8. Slowly retum the throttle grip to the fully closed posi CAUTION: ‘* 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. 2.6 Warming up engine 1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do so will shorten engine life. Gradually return the choke knob to its home position as the engine warms up. 2. Check for steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole. 7CAUTION: * If water is not flowing out of the hole at all times while the engine is running, stop the engine and check whether the cooling water inlet on the lower case or the cooling water blocked. * If the probiem cannot be located and corrected, consult your dealer. 2.7 Shifting &. WARNING: Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you. CAUTION: To shift from forward to reverse or vice versa, first close the throttle so that the engine idles (or runs at low speeds). 2.7.1 Forward 11 Place the throttle grip in the fully closed position 182. Move gear shift lever quickly and firmly from REZ neutral to forward, 2.7.2 Reverse A WARNIN' + When operating in reverse, go slowy. Do not open the throttle more than half. ‘» Otherwise the boat could become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an aceldent. 1. Place the throttle trip in the fully closed position. 2. Move the gear shift lever quickly and firmly from neutral to reverse NOTE: Make sure the tilt lock lever is in the lock/down position| 192.8 Tiller 4. Change direction To change direction, move the tiller handle to the left or right as necessary. 2. Change speed Tum the grip counterclockwise to increase speed and clockwise to decrease speed 3. Throttle indicator ‘The throttle indicator is on the throttle grip. The fuel consumption curve on the throttle indicator shows the relative amount of fuel consumed for each throitle position. Choose the setting that offers the best performance and fuel economy for the desired operation. A 1.Throttle indicator 204, Throttle friction adjuster The throttle friction adjuster is on the tiller handle, which provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, tum the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise. When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster to maintain the desired throttle setting A\ 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] 2.9 Stopping engine NOTE: Before stopping the engine, first let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or low 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. NOTE: I 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. 22. Tighten the air vent sorew on the fuel tank cap. 3. Disconnect the fuel line if you are using an external fuel tank 2.10 Trimming outboard motor There are 4 or § 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 titing the outboard motor up. 223. Reposition the rod in the desired hole. Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to find the position that works best for your boat and operating conditions. WARNIN # 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. 2.11 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 damaged by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce corrosion. 4S 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. « 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. NOTE: # Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the tiller handle because this could break the handle. # The outboard motor cannot be tilted when in reverse. 232.11.1 Tilting up 1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral (if equipped) and face the outboard motor forward. 2. Tighten the steering friction adjuster by turning it clockwise to prevent the motor from turning freely 3. Tighten the air vent screw. Disconnect the fuel joint from the outboard motor. 244, Hold the rear handle and till the engine up fully until the tit support lever automatically locks. |. Slightly tit the outboard motor up. Slowly tilt he outboard motor down ‘while pulling the tilt support bar lever up. according to operator preference. 4S WARNING: If there is too much resistance it could be difficult to steer, which could result in an accident.2.12 Cr other conditions 2.12.1 Cruising in shallow water The outboard motor can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallows water. Ay WARNING: The tilt lock mechanism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used. Run the boat at the lowest possible speed to avoid the outboard motor being lifted out of the water, resulting in loss of control. * Return the outboard motor to its normal po: CAUTION: The cooling water inlet on the lower unit should be not above the surface of the water when ‘setting up for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result. For tilting procedure, see section 2.11. jon as soon as the boat is back in deeper water. 2.12.2 Cruising in salt water AAfler operating in salt water, wash out the cooling water passages with fresh water to prevent them from becoming clogged with salt deposits. 263. Maintenance While using the outboard moter, the periodic maintenance is necessary for you to ensure its performance. ASWARNING: Be sure to turn off the engine when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. Ifyou or the owner is not familiar with machine servicing, this work should be done by your PARSUN dealer or other qualified mechanic. CAUTION: If replacement parts are necessary, use only genuine PARSUN pai‘s or parts of the same type and of equivalent strength and materials. 3.1 Greasing 273.2 Cleaning and adjusting spark plug You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. Ifnecessary, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type. Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary. ETD, ‘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 sperk plug to the correct torque, 3.3 Checking the fuel system 1. Check the fuel lines for leaks, crack, or malfunction. Ifa problem is found, your PARSUN dealer or other qualified mechar 4S WARNING: © Check for fuel leakage regularly. If any fuel leakage is found, the fuel system must be repaired by a qualified mechanic. 282. Check the fuel filter periodically. If foreign matter is found in the fiter, replacing it 3.4 Inspecting idling speed 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 itis running smoothly. 2. Verify whether the idle speed is set to specification. Idle speed: 750#50Rpm CAUTION: 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 PARSUN dealer or other qualified mechanic. 3.5 Checking wiring and connectors Check that each grounding wire is properly secured and each connector is engaged securely. 3.6 Checking for leakage Check that no exhaust or water leaks from the joints between the exhaust cover, cylinder head, and body cylinder. Check for oil leaks on the around the engine. CAUTION: If any leaks are found, consult your PARSUN dealer. 293.7 Checking propeller AN WARNIN * Before inspecting, removing or installing the propeller, always take actions to ensure the engine will not accidentally starts, such as. removing the spark plug caps from the spark plugs, placing the shift control in neutral, and removing the lanyard from the engine stop. switch, etc.. Serious accident could occur if the engine starts when you are nearby. * Do not use your hand to hold the propeller when loosening or tightening the propeller hut. Put a wood block between the anti-cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent the propeller from turning. 4. Check each of the propeller blades for wear, erosion from cavitation or ventilation, or other damage. 302. Check the propeller shaft for damage. 3. Check the splines/shear pin for wear or damage. 4. Check for fish line tangled around the propeller shaft 5. Check for the propeller shaft oil seal for damage. 3.7.4 Removing the propeller 4. Straighten the cotter pin and pull it out using a pair of pliers. 2, Remove the propeller nut, washer, and spacer (if equipped). 3. Remove the propeller and thrust washer. Cotter pin Propeller nut Washer Propeller Thrust washer 3.7.2 Installing the propeller CAUTION: * Be sure to install the thrust washer before instating the propeller, otherwise the lower case and propeller boss could be damaged. 3
