Hidea F15 User Manual

Specifications and requirements
Recommended engine oil grade 2
Fuel requirements
Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of
gas- oline or premium unleaded fuel. Hidea
recommends that you use alcohol-free
gaso- line (see Gasoline with Ethanol)
whenever possible.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may
result in starting and running problems. If
you en- counter drivability problems, which
you sus- pect could be related to the fuel
you are using, we recommend that you
switch to a recognized high quality brand of
gasoline, such as a gasoline that is
advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
Failure to comply with these
recommendations may also result in
unscheduled maintenance, fuel system
damage, and internal engine damage.
NOTICE
 Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
 Avoid getting water and
contaminants in the fuel tank.
Contaminated fuel can cause poor
performance or engine damage. Use
only fresh gasoline that has been
stored in clean containers.
Gasoline with Ethanol
Two types of gasoline are commonly avail-
able in the U.S.A. for use in automobiles
and boats: conventional gasoline without
Ethanol and gasoline with Ethanol, which is
typically referred to as E10 gasoline.
According to federal regulations, E10
gasoline may con- tain up to 10% Ethanol.
A high quality gasoline without Ethanol is
the preferred fuel for your Hidea outboard
mo- tor. However, if gasoline with Ethanol is
the only fuel available in your area, your
Hidea outboard motor is calibrated to run
properly on fresh E10 gasoline that meets
the mini- mum octane requirement specified
for this model.
NOTICE
Never use a gasoline for your outboard
motor that contains more than 10% Etha-
nol, such as E85 which contains 85%
Eth- anol, or gasoline containing any
amount of Methanol. These fuels can
cause start- ing and running problems,
as well as se- rious fuel system and
internal engine damage.
Gasoline containing ethanol has several
properties that may cause boat fuel system
problems.
 Ethanol is a strong solvent (cleaning
agent) that can clean gum and varnish
de- posits from a boat’s fuel system,
