OILING SYSTEM
PRIMING

PRIMING
The oiling system of the outboard must be primed:
• After the initial installation of the outboard (pre-
delivery);
• Whenever the oil supply to the oil lift pump is
disconnected or disrupted; and
• Whenever an oiling system component is
removed or replaced.
Oil Hose Connections
Insert the end of the oil supply hose (from the oil
tank) into a suitable container.
Squeeze the oil primer bulb to flow oil from the oil
tank.
Once oil flow is observed, connect the oil tank
hose to the outboard’s oil supply hose and secure
with 14.5 mm Oetiker clamp.
Oil Distribution Manifold Priming
Follow these steps for initial outboard set-up:
• Position outboard in lowest trim/tilt position.
• Squeeze the oil primer bulb to flow oil from the
hose connection, through the filter, to the oil
pump.
• Visually inspect filter to ensure that all air has
been purged.
• Continue squeezing the primer until oil flows
through the distribution manifold into the oil dis-
tribution hoses and to the crankcase fittings. All
air must be eliminated from oil lines.
• Use the Evinrude Diagnostics Software pro-
gram to confirm that the EMM is programmed
for the type of oil being used.
• Start the outboard and use the oil priming func-
tion in the software for a minimum of 90 sec-
onds to make sure the system is completely
primed.
WARNING
To prevent injury from contact with rotat-
ing propeller, always remove the propeller
before running on a flushing device.
WARNING
Always use caution while working around
machinery with moving parts. The follow-
ing set-up procedures require running
tests that are performed with the out-
board’s motor cover removed.
