hard starting. Check and replace the
fuel filter periodically.
Inspection interval:
Every 100 operating hours or 6
months.
Replacement interval:
Every 200 operating hours or every
year.
• Gasoline is extremely
flammable, and gasoline vapor
can explode, causing serious
injury or death. Do not smoke or
allow flames or sparks in your
working area.

CHILDREN.
• Always work in a
well-ventilated area.
• Be sure that any fuel drained
from the outboard motor is
stored in a safe container.

ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make
sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
