aOperatlon of Your Motor
BREAK.IN PERIOD
Reasonable care in the operatlon of the motor during
the first several hours of use will improve its per-
formance and insure Ionger life. Follow the oiling
instructions carefully, Do not run continuously atfull
speed for the first few hours, to give the rings and
bearings a chance to become well seated. The motor
may not develop full speed and power until after ap-
pro>dmately 20 hours operation. No extra oil is
required for the break-in period.
STARTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
See Fig. 3.
1. Open air vent screw in fuel tank filler cap.
2. Open fuel shut-off valve under fuel tank.
3. Move speed control lever to position marked
START.
4. Turn carburetor knob to left or PRIME position
and hold down against spring pressure for 10seconds;
then release.
5. PulI starter handle slowly until starter engages,
then pull forcibly. If motor does not start after
several pulls, repedt priming instructions. Allow
starter cord to rewind before releasinghandle. Also,
do not pull cord out more than 30 inches-
6. After motor stalts, turn carburetor knob slowly
to right until motor runs smoothly. Advance speed
control lever as desired.
?. Advance speed eontrol lever to FAST position
and adjust carburetor knob until motor runs smoothly.
Since the speed control lever and carburetor control
are synchronized, the full range of speed is obtained
without further adjustment of the carburetor knob,
except when under unusual conditions.
8. To stop motor, move speed control Iever to
position marked STOP or beyond.
NOTE
The above starting instructlons are given in
step by step form - it is advisable to become
familiar with each detail prior to actually
operating the motor. A few moments spent
in practice are well worth while.

WARIYI MOTOR
It is not necessary to prime motor when starting i-f
motor has be-en warmed up. Motor can usually be
started with carburetor knob in running position
and pulling starter handle with speed control lever
at START position.
FIOODING
Flooding may occur by over-priming or priming a
warm motor. If this occurs, turn carburetor knob
to extreme right (Iean posltton) and pull starter
handle several times. When motor starts, allow to
run until it stops. Then follow instructions for start-
ing cold or warm motor, whichever applies.
REVERSE
An important feature of the motor is that it can be
turned completely around in its pivot bearing, per-
mitting backing up and easy maneuverability. To
reverse, simply raise the steering handle and turn
the motor around to REVERSE position. With the
motor in reverse position, the reverse lock (Fig.
4) prevents the thrust of the propeller from forclng
the lower unit out of the water. The reverse lock
should be kept lubricated with grease and checked
periodically for proper operation. For SAFETY SAKE
do not attempt to reverse motor at any speed higher
than haU throttle.

straight upward position and hold this posltion for
a brief period until all water is drained from the
underwater exhaust tube and water cooling system.
Do not stand motor on magneto or carry with the
