OPERATION
51
b. Change engine speed approximately every two minutes,
and avoid continuous operation at idle speed for more than
ten minutes. Short bursts of full throttle for periods up to ten
seconds are acceptable.
c. Avoid trimming the outboard out (up) beyond a vertical trim
position during operation.
NOTE: It is the driver's responsibility to always drive in a safe
manner. Improper trim angle of the outboard when driving at the
proper speed can be difficult and dangerous. The purpose of
specifying trim angle is to help guide the operator in determining
how to put the proper load on the engine.
2. For the next three hours of operation, change engine speed
every ten minutes.
Starting the Engine
Before starting, read the pre‑starting check list, special operating
instructions, and engine break‑in procedure in the Operation
section.
NOTICE
Failure to provide sufficient cooling water will damage the water
pump and cause the engine to overheat. Provide a sufficient
supply of water at the water inlets during operation.
1. Lower the outboard to the vertical operating position. Make
sure all cooling water intake holes are submerged.
