IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm,
forcing fuel into the filter.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling, leaks, hardness, or other signs of deterioration
or damage. If any of these conditions are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be replaced.
Exterior Care
Your outboard is protected with a durable baked enamel finish. Clean and wax often using marine cleaners and
waxes.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened using special
washer head bolt ("d" - Part Number 10-856680) and self-locking nylon insert locknuts ("a" & "c" - Part Number
11-826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced 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.
