OUTBOARD ENGINE
The engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual is
accompanied with the Hunter Operator’s Manual. This
manual will contain technical specifications, running
instructions and a maintenance schedule on
lubricants and other important functions. For longer
engine life, follow the routine maintenance schedule

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
FIRE HAZARD
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Improper
handling of fuel could result in property
damage, serious injury or death. Always turn
off the outboard before fueling. Never permit
anyone other than an adult to refill the fuel
tank. Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to the
top or fuel may overflow when it expands from
sunlight. Remove portable fuel tanks from the
boat before fueling and always wipe off any
fuel spillage. Do not smoke, allow open flames
or sparks or use electrical devices such as
cellular phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or
while fueling.
1. Octane: Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for
minimum to maximum octane rating for the
outboard engine.
2. Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize,
resulting in loss of octane and volatile
compounds, as well as the produce gum and
varnish deposits, which can damage the motor.
3. Additives: Do not use any additives other than
approved by the engine’s manufacturer. Use of
other additives can result in poor performance or
engine damage.
BEFORE START-UP
SAFETY HAZARD
Lanyard MUST be securely attached to the
operator, and clip MUST be installed on key
switch. DO NOT operate outboard with clip
removed from switch, except in an emergency.
Make sure to follow the outboard engine manual
instructions for first time starting of the engine. It’s
recommended that you consult with your local dealer
and follow the dealer’s recommendations for this
procedure.
RUNNING CHECKS
SAFETY HAZARD
DO NOT run outboard without a water
supply to the outboard’s cooling system.
Cooling system and/or powerhead
damage could occur.
DO NOT run outboard in water when in
the up position.
DO NOT run the engine indoors without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause
serious brain damage or death.
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely
to result in serious injury or death.
Ensure the engine and propeller area is
clear of people and objects before
starting engine or operating boat.
DO NOT allow anyone near a propeller,
even when the engine is off. Propeller
blades can be sharp and can continue to
turn even after the engine is off.
