2. Safety Information

Operating any marine engine requires adherence to strict safety guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• Read the Manual: Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the motor.
• Personal Flotation Device: Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) when operating or riding in a boat.
• Fuel Handling: Gasoline is highly flammable. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Avoid spilling fuel. Do not smoke or use open flames near fuel.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the engine, especially in enclosed spaces, to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
• Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency shutdown rope and button. Always attach the shutdown rope to yourself or your clothing while operating the motor.
• Propeller Safety: Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of the propeller at all times, especially when the engine is running or being started. Never operate the engine out of water.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the motor, especially during operation and refueling.
• Maintenance: Perform all maintenance with the engine off and the spark plug cap disconnected to prevent accidental starting.

4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

4.1 Mounting the Motor

1. Position the motor on the boat's transom. Ensure the mounting bracket clamps securely grip the transom.
2. Tighten the fixing screws on the mounting bracket firmly to prevent movement during operation.
3. Adjust the motor's height so that the propeller is adequately submerged in the water, typically with the anti-cavitation plate just below the waterline.
4. Adjust the trim angle for optimal performance and steering. The motor features an adjustable angle greater than 120 degrees for convenient steering.

5. Fuel and Oil Mixture

This is a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. Using incorrect fuel or mixture ratio will damage the engine and void the warranty.

• Fuel Type: Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Oil Type: Use high-quality 2-stroke engine oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines.
• Mixing Ratio: The recommended fuel mixing ratio is 25:1 (25 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke oil).

5.1 Mixing Procedure

1. Use the provided fuel mixing bottle for accurate measurement.
2. Pour the required amount of 2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle first.
3. Add the corresponding amount of gasoline to achieve the 25:1 ratio.
4. Securely close the bottle and shake it gently to ensure thorough mixing.
5. Pour the mixed fuel into the motor's fuel tank (capacity: 850ml / 0.22gal).

Caution: Always mix fuel in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Store mixed fuel in an approved container.
