Evinrude FISHERMAN 6902 User Manual

fuel and break-in
This is a two cycle engine. The lubrication of pistons, cylinders, crankshaft and
bearings is supplied by oil which is mixed with gasoline. Adhere to this recom-
mendations:
GASOLINE - Use regular automotive gasoline or white marine gasoline. Higher
octane fuels may be used but, generally, offer no advantages. NOTE: When op-
erating in any country other than the United States or Canada, use any gasoline that
will satisfactorily operate an automotive engine.
OIL - We recommend using EVINRUDE OUTBOARD MOTOR OIL available from
your dealer. This oil is designed specifically for use at a 50 to 1 gasoline-oil ratio .
Its exceptional lubricating qualities make it desirable for new engine break-in and
for older models. If Evinrude Outboard Motor Oil is not available, a good quality
outboard motor oil or SAE 30 automotive oil may be used. The oil used should have
Service ML-MM or Service MM marked on the container. Additional markings such
as MS, DG, DM, DS designate heavy duty and should be avoided. Also, low priced
light duty oils (container marked only with ML designation) and multiple viscosity
oils (SAE 10W-30, etc.) should not be used. "Tune up" and "fric tion reducing"
compounds, "tonic s, " etc., are entirely unnecessary and not recommended for your
motor.
FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS - CRUIS-A-DAY TANK - (6 U.S. or 5 Imperial
gallon capacity). Always use fresh gasoline and oil. When filling an empty tank, put
approximately one gallon of gasoline into tank and add recommended amount of oil.
Shake tank vigorously to insure thorough mixing, then add the balance of the gasoline.
Be sure the filler cap is properly secured.
FUEL MIXTURE - BREAK IN PERIOD - FIRST 5 HOURS- U.S. MEASURE: 1
pint of Evinrude Outboard Motor Oil to 6 gallons of gasoline, OR 1 quart of other rec-
ommended oil (see OIL above) to 6 gallons of gasoli ne. IMPERIAL MEASURE: 1
pint of Evinrude Outboard Motor Oil to 5 gallons of gasoline, or 1 quart of other
recommended oil (see OIL above) to 5 gallons of gasoline.
FUEL MIXTURE - AFTER BREAK IN - AFTER 5 HOURS - After the first 5 hours
of operation the correct fuel mixture is 1 part of oil to 50 parts of gasoline. U.S.
MEASURE: 1 pint of oil (see OIL above) to 6 ga llons of gasoline. IMPERIAL
MEASURE: 1
pint of oil (see OIL above) to 5 gallons of gasoline . After break-in,
reputable brands of 24 to 1 ratio premix fuel may be used, when the recommended
50 to 1 ratio is not available.
Use only the recommended oil to gasoline mixtures, regardless of the
claims made for some lubricants.
BREAK -IN
Do not operate engine at continuous full power for the first hour of operation.
After 15 minutes of slow to half throttle operation (2500 rpm approx.), we recom-
mend a short burst of full throttle operation every 5 or 10 minutes. Run at full
throttle for about 90 seconds, then return to half throttle or less. Check operation
of cooling system frequently during break-in. Water discharge from exhaust re-
lief outlet indicates proper operation.
