ENGINE START UP & BREAK IN
|
START UP PROCEDURE 1. Test the fuel supply A. Fuel Tank to be clean and the Fuel Must be 91.1 OCTANE OR HIGHER. B. Air Vent and Fuel Lines must be New within the last year. All Fittings and Clamps Tight, No Vacuum or Pressure Leaks. C. Fuel Filter / Water Separators Clean or Replaced. 2. Oil /Oil System A. Filter in Oil Tank cleaned or replaced before starting engine.
B. Oil must be Johnson, Evinrude,
Mercury or Yamaha Outboard Motor Oil ONLY Rated TCW III or
Higher. C. Oil Line Clean, All Clamps Tight, Purge Ball Check Working, No Vacuum or Pressure Leaks. D. Oil Added To Fuel Tank. 1. Engines without oil systems: 25 TO 1 MIX IN FUEL. 2. Engines with oil systems: 50 TO 1 MIX IN THE FUEL. 3. BATTERY SYSTEM : A. Battery MUST be new or at a Voltage Level of 12.5 Volts. B. Battery Cables / Terminal Ends, clean and tight. 4. CONTROLS / CONTROL CABLES : A. Check for any bad spots in cables. B. Check nuts on cable studs. C. Before attaching Control Cables to Engine, Test Cables for Free Movement. BREAK IN . . . . 1. STARTING ENGINE : A. ENGINE START UP : 1. Prime Fuel by pumping Primer Ball until the ball becomes hard 2. Prime the Oil System by Pumping the Oil Primer Ball until the Ball becomes hard. 3. Early Model Engine without Oil Systems are ready for starting. 4. Put the Shift Lever in Neutral. Advance the throttle to Start. 5. Push the key into the choke position. Turn the key to start the engine. Holding the key as you start the engine, the engine should start within 20 seconds. If the engine does not start within the 20 seconds, repeat steps 1 and 5 for a second time. You may have to repeat steps 1 and 5 a third time. If so, do not hold the choke in on the third try. 2. WARM UP AND RUNNING A. The engine Must be Warmed Up any time the engine has been off for more than 20 minutes.T B. The engine must be run in neutral, at an idle RPM for three to five minutes before putting the engine into gear, depending on the ambient temperatures. Cold Days may require a longer warm up time. 1. Idle RPM IS 850 RPMs To 1250 RPMs 2. Engine Must Be Run At Idle Speed only for the first 4 to 6 hours to allow the cylinder walls to receive lubrication, Failure to run the engine at idle speed will VOID THE WARRANTY!!C. Water-Cooled Engines after the first 4 to 6 hours of Break In Must be run at an idle speed 15 to 20 minutes before accelerating to the Break In RPM of 35 RPM's. This allows the cylinder walls to expand out and prevents cold seizure which can cause engine damage. D. After bringing engine up to 3500 RPMs run engine 6 to 8 minutes, then vary the RPMs down to 3000 to 3200 RPMs for the next 6 to 8 minutes; continue this varying of RPMs for the next ten hours. Exceeding 3500 RPMs can cause engine damage. Running the engine at any planing RPM for an extended period of time without varying the RPM may cause engine damage. E. After the first 10 hours reduce the oil/fuel mix to the Manufacture Required Mix. 1. Engines without oil systems: The mix should be 50 to 1 fuel to oil. 2. Engines with oil systems: Check the oil tank adding oil when needed. Remember to use ONLY TCW III Oil made by the engine manufactures, other oils can cause engine damage. Remember to use only 92.0 Octane or higher fuel. Good fuel and good oil does not cost as much as the repairs cost from damage cheap fuel and oil causes! WHAT IS THE BEST FUEL TO USE? 92.0 Octane or higher is the fuel that has the highest amount of detergent and burns cleaner with the least amount of deposits, aiding in the reduction of carbon build up that causes lose of performance in the engine. It works at their Maximum, allowing the engine to perform at it's best.WHAT HAPPENS IF LOWER THAN 92.0 OCTANE FUEL IS USED ? Nothing if the engine is 40 HP or lower. Engines larger than 40 HP WILL HAVE ENGINE DAMAGE. WILL THIS TYPE DAMAGE BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY ? . . . . NO !WHAT FUEL ADDITIVES MAY BE USED ? Fuel Additives that are manufactured by the companies which make the outboard engines. . EXAMPLE :OMCs 2+4 FUEL CONDITIONER. It is designed to slow the chemical breakdown of the gasoline. Another Good Additive is OMCs CARBON GUARD. Carbon Guard helps in the reduction of carbon build-up caused by the now unleaded fuels. All of the engine manufactures make or have like products.CAN OTHER THAN THE ENGINE MANUFACTURES ADDITIVES BE USED ? NO ! Additives sold outside the engine manufactures control may cause engine damage. DO NOT USE ANY AFTER MARKET ADDITIVES. After the first ten hours of Break-In, the spark plugs should be replaced, fuel filter checked or replaced. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY THE LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: 1. Improper Installation, Operation of Maintenance 2. Power-heads used for racing purpose. 3. Normal Wear. 4. Electrical Parts. 5. Damage from lack of oil A. Any oil pump or system that fails to work or supply oil to the Power-Head. B. Fuel that was supplied to the engine without the correct mixture 6. CARBURETION: Carburetors that have been subject to dirty fuel, water, or other foreign matter. 7. Misuse, Neglect, Negligence, or Accident. 8. Damage to cooling system: Due to the blockage by foreign materials. 9. Piston Damage: any piston wit pre-ignition, detonation, cold seizure, or high RPM running. 10. Damage caused by negligence or workmanship of a Dealer. 11. Incidental or consequential damages not covered (Included but not limited to):A. Loss of use of product. B. Expense of returning product to Dealer C. Towing or Trailer Hauling.
