Important Information
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTICE
Lack of oil pressure in the system can cause severe internal
engine damage during start‑up. Prime the oil injection pump on
new or rebuilt engines or after performing maintenance on the
oiling system.
Refer to Priming the Oil Injection Pump for instructions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Do not use pre‑mixed gas and oil in this engine. The engine
automatically receives extra oil during engine break‑in. Use a fresh
supply of the recommended gasoline during engine break‑in and
after engine break‑in.
OIL RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Oil
Mercury or Quicksilver Premium 2-Cycle TC-W3
Outboard Oil
IMPORTANT: Oil must be NMMA certified TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil.
Mercury or Quicksilver Premium TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is
recommended for this engine. For added protection and
lubrication, Mercury or Quicksilver Premium Plus TC‑W3 2‑Cycle
oil is recommended. If Mercury or Quicksilver outboard oil is not
available, substitute another brand of 2‑cycle outboard oil that is
NMMA Certified TC‑W3. Severe engine damage may result from
use of an inferior oil.
Avoiding Fuel Flow Restriction
IMPORTANT: Adding components to the fuel supply system
(filters, valves, fittings, etc.) may restrict the fuel flow. This may
cause engine stalling at low speed, and/or a lean fuel condition at
high RPM that could cause engine damage.
