1. Your Raider Outboard Motor____________________________________ a. Limited Warranty This Raider product is fully guaranteed against defective materials and workmanship for the period on one year. The limited warranty will not apply to normal wear and tear of parts, adjustments, tune-ups, or to any damage caused, but not limited to careless use. Raider has taken every advantage using non-corrosive materials, high quality and high reliable parts.
There is an air compressor, an air/fuel rail, and six injectors. Three fuel injectors introduce fuel into the air/fuel rail. 80 PSI fuel and air are mixed and then injected into the combustion chamber through three air injectors after the exhaust port is closed. The result is complete atomizing without having to resort to high fuel-injection pressures.

f. TLDI verses Carburetor TLDI is an abbreviation that stands for Two-stroke Low-pressure Direct Injection. The air assisted, low-pressure direct injection system has been combined with the inducted ignition system and the Engine Control Unit, which performs control or fuel mixture, injection timing and ignition timing to maximize combustion efficiency in the TLDI engine. The result is better fuel economy, lower maintenance, ability to burn multi-fuels and capable of submersion.

Raider Installation____________________________________________________ a. Handling Engine The Raider was designed to be carried by the two side rails installed to allow the outboard to be moved through submarine hatches and small areas. The handle/shifter should be upright into the hollow area to keep from getting damaged and to help in carrying the Raider. Be aware of the sharp propeller when lifting through submarine hatches.
c. Installation of Twin Engines When installing two outboard engines, be sure to keep an interval of 470 to 600 mm (18 to 26 inches) between the two engines. Both outboard engines should be at the exact center of the stern and mount it against the Rubber Inflatable Boat pad or plate. It is important to keep it centered as much as possible, after centering on transom tighten clamp screws of both motors by hand.
f. Propeller A propeller must be selected so that the engine rpm measured at wide open throttle while cruising is within the maximum operating range. In the Raider that range is between 5150 and 5850 rpm. To ensure optimum performance, the propeller should match the boat type and its load. Replacing the propeller. A worn or bent propeller will affect engine performance and may over time cause engine trouble. 1.
Raider Running _____________________________________________________ a. Fuels (Multi-fuel) The Raider can run on jet fuels (JP-5/8), diesel fuel, kerosene, gasoline or gasohol/ethanol. There is no knob or valves to turn. If you switch from one fuel to another fuel the Raider engine will operate during transition. When using the twin engine configuration it is recommended similar fuels are used. b. Raider Break in 10 Hours. The Raider has provided the break in at the factory.
Pull starter handle slowly until starter engages, then pull forcibly for a full rope pull (short or slow pulls will not provide enough current to the ECU to start). Maintain fuel pressure by squeezing primer bulb until engine is running. Raider comes with an electric start option. Flip on switch; press start button. d. After Raider Starts/Warm Up Check the water pump indicator. A steady stream of water indicates the water pump is working.
g. Throttle Friction To increase throttle friction, turn the throttle friction screw clockwise. To decrease friction, turn the throttle friction screw counterclockwise. DO NOT over tighten. h. Shifting To avoid gear case damage: DO NOT attempt to shift engine from NEUTRAL to FORWARD or REVERSE when the engine is NOT running. Clutch dogs can align lug-on-lug and result in shift linkage and lower gear case parts damage.
i. Stopping Raider 1. Slow engine to idle speed. 2. Move shift lever to NEUTRAL position. 3. Press and hold stop button until the engine stops running. j. Trim Angle Engine should be perpendicular to water when boat is underway. This adjustment can only be determined by water testing the boat. Set angle adjustment for NORMAL boat load. Move angle adjusting stop rod as shown in picture. k. Trailering Place the engine in the normal vertical position.
m. Trim Tab Adjustment n. Shallow Water Drive The engines shallow water tilt is controlled by the gas assist tilt cylinder Engage Shallow Water Drive 1. Move red button tilt/run lever to TILT position 2. Raise the engine to the desired shallow drive position. 3. When drive angle is reached, lock position. Disengage Shallow Water Drive 1. Move red button tilt/run lever to RUN position. o. Shallow Water Operation DO NOT operate engine with gear case dragging on sea bottom.
p. Impact Damage Your boat and engine can be seriously damaged by a collision at high or low speeds, while trailering, or in the water. If you hit an object, stop immediately and examine the engine for loose mounting hardware or clamp screws. Inspect for damage to stern and swivel brackets, and components in the area of impact. Also, examine the boat for damage. Tighten any loose hardware. If collision occurred in the water, proceed slowly to shore. Before operating again, inspect all components.
If you suspect the engine is overheating or has overheated, STOP the engine only when it is safe. When operating the engine, the water intakes must be completely submerged. Make sure the water intake screens are not installed upside down (ramps must be forward). If upside down, the engine will overheat. Observe proper transom height and engine trim angle. When engine is running, the water pump indicator on the starboard side of the lower motor cover must be discharging a steady stream of water.
If starter cord is missing or gets broken, it might not be long enough to use as an emergency starter cord. If in you need an additional rope cut cord from starter assembly. Tie a knot to one end of cord. Place knot in the notch on top of flywheel. Wrap cord around flywheel clockwise as shown. Follow Normal Starting Procedure. DO NOT attempt to replace starter assembly or engine cover while engine is running. t. Pre-Submersion Procedure To prevent water intrusion on electronics during submersion: 1.
Starting After Submersion 1. 2. 3. 4. Move all 3 drain valves to the run position. Pump primer bulb until firm resistance is felt. Pull starter handle slowly until starter engages, then pull forcibly to start. Run engine at part throttle for 10-15 seconds. You MUST run the engine after performing the Dewater Procedure to dissipate internal moisture. In other than mission situations, run engine under normal operating conditions for 15 to 40 minutes.
4. General Maintenance_______________________________________________ General Safety Warnings When replacement parts are required, use genuine Raider parts or parts with equivalent characteristics including type, strength, and material. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction and possible injury to the operator and/or passengers. To prevent possible eye injury, always wear SAFETY GLASSES while servicing the unit.

c. Tool Kit and spare parts a a a Emergency strap d. Corrosion Protection Whenever possible after use in sea water or submersion in sea water, wash entire engine with fresh water to remove salt deposits and wipe down with a dry cloth. Spray entire powerhead with a liberal coat of Anti-Corrosion Spray penetrant/lubricant or equivalent.
f. Trouble shooting fuel g. Storage Use the following procedure to properly prepare the engine for extended periods of nonuse. These steps are intended to protect the engine during storage and simplify the out of storage servicing procedure. Use a flushing attachment to prevent engine or water pump damage if you operate the engine on a trailer or dolly. When using a flushing attachment, always remove engine's propeller before starting engine to prevent accidental contact with moving propeller. 1.
5. Inspect the engine's steering, throttle, de-watering and shift systems for damage due to corrosion, aging, lack of maintenance, or abuse. Follow the maintenance and lubrication recommendations when servicing these systems. 6. Replace the engine's fuel filter. 7. Clean and inspect oil reservoir. Fill the oil tank with recommended oil to reduce or prevent condensation from forming in the tank during storage. Tank should be full prior to submersion. 8. Remove propeller and check for damage.
i. After Submersion After submersion or after a mission, the Raider must be prepared to be returned to nonuse or prepared for your next mission. If the Raider is re-submersed after your mission and it cannot be serviced, keep it submersed until it can be serviced to avoid prolonged exposure to the atmosphere. If the Raider is brought on deck and it can’t be operated or serviced, keep it submerse in fresh water, but get it prepared for your next mission as soon as possible.
