PRIMING THE OILING SYSTEM
Your outboard is designed to run in “get
home” mode in the event your oil tank runs
low. You will have approximately five hours of
normal operation before running out of oil
when using TC-W3RL oil. If you are using
Evinrude/Johnson
XD100
™ oil, you have ap-
proximately ten hours of normal operation re-
maining. Refill the onboard oil tank as soon
as possible. Refer to Priming the Oiling
System on page 15.
IMPORTANT: Always “top off” your oil tank
prior to prolonged usage or long trips.

The oiling system must be primed before re-
using the outboard if:
• You run completely out of oil; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing winter-
ization. Refer to Long-Term (Winterization)
on page 31.
