Gearcase Lubricant
With outboard vertical, check the gearcase lubri-
cant level:
• Remove the lubricant level plug. Lubricant must
be even with the bottom of the threaded hole.
• A clean tie strap can be used as a “dip stick” if
the lubricant level is not obvious.
• Add HPF XR gearcase lubricant as needed.
Oil Level
Make sure oil tank contains an adequate supply of
the correct lubricant for the outboard and that the
LOW OIL warning has been tested. Refer to Oil
Requirements on p. 52.
When starting the outboard for the first time, refer
to Oil Supply Priming on p. 54.
Trim and Tilt Fluid
Make sure trim and tilt reservoir is full before run-
ning outboard:
• Tilt the motor up and engage the tilt support.
• Remove filler cap and check fluid level.
• Single Ram System–Add Evinrude/Johnson
Biodegradable TNT Fluid, as needed, to bring
level to the bottom of the fill plug threads.
Install the fill plug and tighten to a torque of 45 to
55 in. lbs. (5 to 6 N·m).
