 ENGINE OIL
Recommended engine oil: 4-stroke outboard motor oil SAE10W30 and SAE10W40 (1.0L).

WARNING
Do not start the engine when the oil level is low. Serious damage might
occur.

Always check the oil level before starting the engine.

CAUTION
All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the
factory without engine oil.

 PROPELLER SELECTION
 The performance of your outboard motor will be critically
affected by your choice of propeller, as an incorrect choice
could adversely affect performance. The outboard motor is
fitted with propellers chosen to perform well over a range of
applications, but there maybe uses where a propeller with a
different pitch would be more appropriate.

 For a greater boat load and a low engine speed, a smaller-

pitch propeller is more suitable. Conversely, a large-pitch
propeller is more suitable for a smaller operating load as it
enables the correct engine speed to be maintained.

 Outboard motor installation
 Mount the outboard motor on the center line (keel line) of the
boat. For boats without a keel or which are asymmetrical,
consult your dealer.

1.Center line（keel line）

1
CAUTION
During water testing check the buoyancy of the boat, at rest, with its
maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low
enough to prevent water entry into the power head, when water rises due to
waves when the outboard is not running.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 WARNING
 Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not install
an outboard motor with more horsepower than the maximum
rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have
a capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
 Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in
hazardous conditions. For permanently mounted models, your
dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging should
mount the motor. If you are mounting the motor yourself,
 you should be trained by an experienced person. For portable
models, your dealer or other person experienced in proper
outboard motor mounting should show you how to mount your
motor.
 he information presented in this section is intended as reference
only. Proper mounting depends in part on experience and the
specific boat and motor combination.

 Mounting height
The mounting height of the
outboard motor greatly affects
your boat running efficiency.

If the mounting height is too

high, cavitation tends to occur,
thus reducing the propulsion.

If the mounting height is too

low, the water resistance will
increase and thereby reduce
engine efficiency.

Mount the outboard motor so

～
that the anti-cavitation plate is
between the bottom of the boat
and a level 25mm below it

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 CAUTION
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is
affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired
use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the
optimum mounting height. For further information, consult
your “PARSUN” dealer or boat manufacturer.

 Clamping the outboard motor
Tighten the transom clamp screw
evenly and securely. Occasionally
check the clamp screws for
tightness during operation of the
outboard motor because they
could become loose due to engine
vibration.

WARNING
Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off
or move on the transom.
This could cause loss of control.
Make sure the clamp screws are tightened securely.
Occasionally check the screws for tightness during operation.

 If the engine restraint cable
attachment is equipped on your
engine, an engine restraint
cable or chain should be used.
Attach to a secure mounting
point on the boat to avoid the
engine being completely lost if it
accidentally falls off the transom

 Breaking in engine
 Your new engine requires a period of break-in to allow mating
surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly.

Caution
Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even
severe engine damage.

1. For the first hour of operation: Run the engine at 2000 r/min or at approximately half
throttle.
2. For the second hour of operation: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately
three-quarter throttle.
3. For the next eight hours of operation: Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more
than five minutes at a time.
4. Operate the engine normally.

 Pre-operation checks
FUEL
Check to be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip.
Make sure there are no fuel leaks or gasoline fumes.
Check fuel line connections to be sure they are tight
Be sure the fuel tank is positioned on a secure, flat surface, and that the fuel line is not
twisted or flattened, or likely to contact sharp objects.

Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then
install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the engine stop switch.

Lock plate Stop switch lanyard

WARNGING
The engine must be started in neutral otherwise
damage to the starter can occur.

Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear

loose.
Do not route the lanyard where it could become
entangled, preventing it from functioning.

Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal

operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of
steering control.

Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly.

This could cause people and objects in the boat to be
thrown forward.

 Warming up engine

1.After starting the engine, place the gear shift lever in neutral. For
approximately the first 3 minutes after starting, warm up the engine by
operating at one fifth throttle or less. Otherwise, will shorten engine life.

CAUTION
If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall. In the
temperatures of -5℃ or less, leave the choke knob pulled out fully for approximately 30
seconds after starting.

2. Check for steady flow of water from the cooling water pilot hole.

CAUTION

If water is not flowing out of the hole at

all times while the engine is running, stop
the engine and check whether the cooling
water inlet on the lower case or the
cooling water pilot hole is blocked.

If the problem cannot be located and

corrected, consult your PARSUN dealer.
