5. Preparation 1. Lubrication Information Use high quality clean lubricants, we do not recommended any special additive lubricants. Please Add 320ml of oil for new machines, then check the oil level gauge scale to ensure the correct amount of oil. Figure (1) 2. Fuel Information Only use clean, unleaded gasoline. (87 Octane or above). Gasoline should be used within 30 days of purchase. DO NOT use gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol. NOTICE: Turn off the outboard motor and let the engine cool at least 2 mins before refueling. 6. Operation 1.Preparation before starting 1.1 Push the priming bulb on carburetor until fuel flows through the return fuel line. 1.2 Move choke lever to the closed position(figure 4-direction of the arrow reversed in the end). Once the engine warms up, move the choke lever to the fully open position. 2.Starting 2.1 Recoil start Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt,then pull briskly starting the engine. Difficulty in starting may occur due to too much fuel, remove the spark plug. Fully open choke lever and pull recoil starter 5-6 times, then reinstall the spark plug, and restart using the method above.

2.2 After starting the outboard motor, adjust idle speed after warming up motor for 3 to 5 mins. 3.Stop machine Adjust the engine idle speed and let run another 30 seconds before stopping. Do not close choke lever to stop engine or it may cause engine damage. 7.Maintenance 1.Machine Maintenance The following date and time intervals, regardless of the order. 1.1 Replace engine oil once every 10 hours. 1.2 Routinely inspect: screws, bolts and nuts are tight, check for oil leaks or air leakage. 1.3 Every 8 hours, clean dust from all machine surfaces,and use gasoline to clean air filter. 1.4 Every 50 hours, clean fuel tank, filter and carburetor. 1.5 Every working 100 hours, clean muffler; take off the fan,remove the oil on the fan;checking high-tension cable connections;take off cylinder,remove the combustion clamber and piston crown fouling;cleaning inside the crankcase. 2. Accessories Maintenance 2.1 Clean and/or replace any damaged or contaminated foam air flter. 2.1.1 Loosen air filter cover fastening screws, remove the air filter assembly from the base. 2.1.2 Remove the air filter cover and take off the foam filter. 2.1.3 Use detergent and clean water to wash the foam filter and squeeze clean, removing excess oil. 2.2 Spark plug Every 50 hours clean spark plug to prevent fouling; Every 100 hours replace the spark plug. The spark plug gap is 0.6-0.8mm. 2.3 Magneto Magneto gap should be in 0.4~0.6mm. 2.4 Keeping engine clean 2.4.1 Regularly clean any dirt, DO NOT use pressure washer, only use brush or high pressure air to clean. 2.4.2 Before starting, remove any combustible materials near muffler around to avoid fire. 2.4.3 Clean debris to prevent blockage of the cooling system ducts,regular cleaning the cooling fan to avoid too heat and machinery damage.

8. Storage and Transportation 1. Empty gasoline to avoid fuel line and carburetor blockage if motor will not be used for a period exceeding 30 days or for seasonal storage. 2. If putting in long-term storage, please empty gasoline from fuel tank, then run the machine, until the engine stopped due to lack of gasoline. Remove the spark plug, inject engine oil into combustion chamber, pull starter handle several times so that the piston does not sieze. 3. Clean the cylinder, cylinder head cooling fins and the areas around the muffler. 4. Storage on a clean and dry place, keep it away from the stove and the other heater appliance. 9. Common Faults and Troubleshooting Method The Common Failures The engine can not start. Lack of engine power. Possible Causes The choke valve position is not correct No fuel or f u el line is obstructed. Spark plug or the magneto. Air filter obstructed Fuel line obstructed The choke valve position is not correct The muffler is obstructed. Solutions 1.Move the choke valve handle to the opening position when engine warms. 2.Move the choke valve handle to the closing position when starting a cold engine. 1.If you do not press the carburetor primer bulb, please push 3-4 times. 2.If the fuel runs out, refill the fuel tank 3.If there is foreign matter in the tank or fuel line, please clean foreign matter before adding the new fuel. 1. Replace the spark plug if broken. 2. Spark plug fouled. Inspect spark plug gap and clean off any carbon deposits. 3.If the spark plug electrode gap is submerged by oil, remove the spark plug and dry before installation. 4. High-voltage wires broken or loose, please replace or tighten. 5. If the stator is loose, adjust the gap and tighten. 6. If the high pressure cap and spark plug is bad, you should tighten or replace the spark plug cap. Check the filter parts are not blocked by dirt. C lean or replace the filter as needed. If there is foreign matter or impurities in the tank or fuel line, please keep the oil drain and remove the foreign matter before adding the oil. It should be placed in full open position when running. The muffler is obstructed by carbon deposit, it should be clean routinely. If the above methods for troubleshooting are unsuccessful or an uncommon fault occurs, please ask our authorized dealer or service providers promptly, or send the engine to the dealer for repair or maintenance.

Propeller Locating Pin Figure 8 Figure 9 The Trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. Correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine. Correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine and propeller. Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions and running speed. There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees.

Figure 10 Cruising in Shallow water 1. When boat cruising in shallow water, you must operate outboard motor in low speed, it may be necessary for you to adjust or lift the motor. When the water is shallow, you may have to turn off the engine or lift and pass, or you may damage the outboard motor. 2. When the boat returns to deep water, the outboard motor must be returned to normal position.
