Fuel and Oil - 19
FUEL SYSTEM
If the fuel hose is disconnected for any reason, seal
it to prevent spillage. Cap the fuel fitting to prevent
contamination.
Connect the fuel hose to the 3/8 in. (9 mm) fuel fit-
ting. Fasten hose securely with clamp (18.5 mm)
from owner’s kit.
1. Fuel hose and fuel fitting – 3/8 in. (9 mm)
2. Oil supply fitting – 1/4 in. (6 mm) - Yellow stripe
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the boat
must deliver fuel at the rate of flow needed by the
engine. Minimum inside diameter of fuel hoses
must be 3/8 in. (9 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those
that include antisiphon valves and filter/primer
units, may have restrictions that will not allow the
engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient fuel under all
conditions. This can result in a loss of performance
and possible engine damage. If a performance
problem exists, see your DEALER.
To avoid difficulty when restarting, never run the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected, or run the
engine out of fuel.
OIL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: You MUST prime the oil injection
system BEFORE you prime the fuel system. Refer
to Installing the Oil Supply Hose If the fuel system
is primed first, see your DEALER. After this initial
connection, the oiling system should NOT need
priming unless problems occur due to an air leak in
the oil line or an empty oil tank.
If the oil hoses are disconnected for any reason,
seal them to prevent spillage. Install caps on the oil
fittings to prevent contamination.
You must use an oil tank equipped with a filter and
oil supply hose. The oil system must be purged if air
is in the oil supply hose. Refer to Installing the Oil
Supply Hose.
Install the oil tank by following the instructions pro-
vided with the unit.
IMPORTANT: Consider the installation location of
the oil tank carefully. The oil tank is vented to the at-
mosphere. To avoid serious powerhead damage,
be sure the oil tank is installed in a location that
does not allow constant exposure to sunlight, rain,
bilge water or spray. Periodically inspect the oil tank
for evidence of water.
WARNING
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in property damage, serious
injury, or death. It is strongly recommended
your DEALER install your outboard to
ensure proper installation.
