INSTALLATION
1. Push the filter element into the cover.
2. Place the O‑ring seal into its proper position on the sight bowl
and screw the sight bowl hand tight into the cover.
3. Reinstall the filter assembly back into the mount.
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter by
squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel into the filter.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using the steering link rod
fastening hardware supplied with engine. Never replace the
locknuts (11‑16147‑‑3) with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
WARNING
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking
a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially violent action can
cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing them to
serious injury or death.
