Before working on any part of the outboard, read the SAFETY section at the end of this manual.
This manual is written for qualified, factory-trained
technicians who are already familiar with the use
of Evinrude
®
/Johnson
®
Special Tools. This man-
ual is not a substitute for work experience. It is an
organized guide for reference, repair, and mainte-
nance of the outboard(s).
This manual uses the following signal words iden-
tifying important safety messages.
IMPORTANT: Identifies information that will
help prevent damage to machinery and appears
next to information that controls correct assembly
and operation of the product.
These safety alert signal words mean:
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Always follow common shop safety practices. If
you have not had training related to common shop
safety practices, you should do so to protect your-
self, as well as the people around you.
It is understood that this manual may be trans-
lated into other languages. In the event of any dis-
crepancy, the English version shall prevail.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, safety warn-
ings are provided at appropriate times throughout
the manual.
DO NOT make any repairs until you have read the
instructions and checked the pictures relating to
the repairs.
Be careful, and never rush or guess a service pro-
cedure. Human error is caused by many factors:
carelessness, fatigue, overload, preoccupation,
unfamiliarity with the product, and drugs and alco-
hol use, to name a few. Damage to a boat and
outboard can be fixed in a short period of time, but
injury or death has a lasting effect.
When replacement parts are required, use
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including type, strength
and material. Using substandard parts could
result in injury or product malfunction.
Torque wrench tightening specifications must be
strictly followed. Replace any locking fastener
(locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature
becomes weak. Definite resistance to turning
must be felt when reusing a locking fastener. If
replacement is specified or required because the
locking fastener has become weak, use only
authorized Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts.
If you use procedures or service tools that are not
recommended in this manual, YOU ALONE must
decide if your actions might injure people or dam-
age the outboard.
