Inspection 1. Position the outboard motor verti- cally, and remove the engine cover. 2. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe with a clean rag. 3. Reinsert the dipstick all the way in, then pull it out and read the level. If the oil registers near or below the lower limit mark, remove the oil tiller cap and fill to the upper limit mark with .the recommended oil. Do not overjill. Excessive oil can damage the engine. MARK OIL LEVEL DIPSTICK 4. Reinstall the oil filler cap and tight- en securely. 5. Install the engine cover and lock it securely. If the engine oil is contaminated or discolored, replace with fresh engine oil (refer to page 96 for oil capacity, replacement interval and procedure). 4. 4.

VENT KNOB \ : bI L FUEi ,C AP Refilling Remove the fuel tank from the boat for refilling. Turn the vent knob coun- terclockwise to the open position and remove the fuel cap. Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Fill the fuel tank up to the SAFE! FILL level mark only. Inspect the condition of the fuel cap gasket and replace if necessary. After refilling, install and tighten the fuel cap securely. Turn the vent knob clockwise to the closed position. Return the fuel tank to the boat. Fuel Recommendations Fuel Recommendations 6 or higher. These outboard motors are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gaso- line mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Occasionally you may hear light “spark knock” or “ping- ing” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda Ma- rine dealer. (NOTICE1 Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or ping- ing is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse. 4. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS 4. 4. Oxygena ted Fuels Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alco- hol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collec- tively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump. The following ate the EPA approved percentages of oxy- genates: ETHANOL - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline con- taining ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”. MTBE - (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15% by volume You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume. METHANOL - (methyl.or wood alcohol) 5% by volume You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try an- other service station, or switch to another brand of gaso- line. Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty. 4. 4. S Propeller/Cotter Pin Inspection m The propeller blades are thin and sharp. Careless handling of the propeller can result in injury when checking the propeller: . Remove the clip of the emergency stop switch to prevent accidental engine starting. Wear heavy gloves when hadling the propeller. The propeller rotates rapidly while cruis- ing. Before starting the engine, check the propeller blades for damage and deformation and replace if necessary. We recommend carrying a spare propeller and fastening hardwave aboard. If no spare propeller is available, return to the pier at low speed and replace. Consult an authorized Honda outboard motor dealer for propeller selection. PROPELLER d Engine speed varies according to the propeller size and the boat condition. Use of the outboard motor outside the full throttle speed range will adversely affect the engine and cause serious problems. ...
