Product Manual

Corrosion Control Anode
This outboard has a corrosion control anode installed on the gearcase. An
anode helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its
metal to be slowly corroded instead of the outboard metals.
The anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater, which will
accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion protection, always replace
the anode before it is completely eroded. Never paint or apply a protective
coating on the anode, as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.

Exterior Care
Your outboard is protected with a durable baked enamel finish. Clean and wax
often using marine cleaners and waxes.
Fuel System
!
WARNING
Liquified petroleum gas (LPG, aka propane) is extremely flammable. Ensure
that
the key switch is off and the lanyard is positioned so that the engine
cannot start. Do not smoke or allow sources of spark or open flame in the
area while servicing. Keep the work area well ventilated. Always check for
leaks before attempting to start the engine.
!
WARNING
Propane is highly combustible:
•
Do not smoke or use an open flame when replacing LPG (propane)
cylinders.
• Never use a flame to check for fuel system leaks.
!
WARNING
Do not use solutions containing ammonia on LPG fuel system components.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop the engine, disconnect the
battery, and shut off the propane supply. Any fuel system service must be
performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any completed service work for
signs of fuel leakage.
