TRAILERING:
Use over-the-boat strap wrapped around the handle
once, as shown, to tie down the handle so that it does not
bounce while trailering. Failure to follow this advice may
cause damage to the handle, controls and wiring.
Engaging the Travel Lock
The motor is equipped with a travel lock that holds the engine in the
horizontal (up and down) and vertical (left and right position).
To engage, stand on the oil lter side of the engine facing the boat. While
lifting the engine with your left hand, raise the engine upward to line up
the tab on the base plate with the engine mount plate. Push the travel
lock ball inward to lock the engine upward.
You can use the hydraulic trim pump to raise the engine but be careful to
not bend the base plate with excessive lift.
OIL:
Your engine holds approximately 2 quarts of oil. (2.0 qts.
Large Vanguard, 1.83 qts Kohler, 1qt small vanguard)
We ship the engine with oil, however we recommend
checking oil levels before use. Add oil slowly and check
the dipstick with the engine in a level position.
We recommend using a 10W-30 oil or synthetic blend
oil the rst twenty hours during break in. Afterwards we
recommend a synthetic or synthetic blend 10W-30. Use
5W-30 in temperatures lower than 20 degrees to help the
engine start easier.
START SWITCH:
The start key switch is located on the front of the engine.
It has three positions, stop, run and start.
Position 1 - Stop Position 2 - Run Position 3 – Start
(Turn the Key all the way to the
right until engine starts. Key
will return to the run position.)
