  • Page 8: Propeller Selection

    “PARSUN” dealers stock a range of propellers and can advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your application.
  • Page 9 NOTE: During water testing, check the buoyancy of the boat when at rest with its maximum load. Check that the static water level on the exhaust housing is low enough to prevent water entry into the power head, or when water rises due to waves, or when the outboard is not running. WARNING: Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability.
  • Page 10: Mounting Height Recommendations

    The optimum mounting height of the outboard motor is affected by the boat and motor combination and the desired use. Test runs at a different height can help determine the optimum mounting height. For further information, consult your “PARSUN” dealer or boat manufacturer.
  • Page 11: Clamping The Outboard Motor

    Clamping the Outboard Motor Tighten the transom clamp screw evenly and securely. Occasionally check the clamp screws for tightness during operation of the outboard motor because they could become loose due to engine vibration. WARNING: Loose clamp screws could allow the outboard motor to fall off or move on the transom. This could cause loss of control.
  • Page 12 If the engine restraint cable attachment is equipped on your engine, an engine restraint cable or chain should be used. Attach to a secure mounting point on the boat to avoid the engine being completely lost if it accidentally falls off the transom.
  • Page 13: Pre-Operation Checks

    Pre-Operation Checks Controls Check throttle, shift and steering for proper operation before starting the outboard. The controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play. Look for loose or damaged connections. Check the operation of the On and Off switch when the outboard motor is in the water. CAUTION: Do not start the outboard out of water.
  • Page 14: Starting The Outboard (Tiller Model)

    Starting the Outboard (Tiller Model) Check to see that the On-Off-Battery switch is in the Off position. Attach the outboard Tether Lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or on your arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the outboard stop switch Connect the Blue Power Cable to the outboard.
  • Page 15 WARNING: Do not start the outboard unless the Throttle Grip is in the minimum position. Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation.
  • Page 16: Changing Direction For Tiller Model

    Changing Direction for Tiller Model 1. Place the throttle grip in the fully closed position. Move the Forward-Reverse switch to the desired direction position. On-Off-Battery Check switch on left side. Forward (FWD) and Reverse (REV) switch on right side.
  • Page 17: Stopping The Outboard

    NOTE: The outboard motor can turn 360° in its bracket (full-pivot system). The boat can also be backed up by simply turning the outboard motor around 180° with the steering handle facing toward you. CAUTION: You can change direction at any time, even with the Throttle Grip in the full speed position. This can cause a shifting lo loads in the boat, but may be necessary if you are moving too quickly towards a dock.
  • Page 18: Throttle Friction Adjuster

    Throttle Friction Adjuster The throttle friction adjuster is on the tiller handle, which provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip, and can be set according to operator preference. To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
  • Page 19: Starting The Outboard (Remote Control Model)

    Starting the Outboard (Remote Control Model) Check to see that the Battery switch is in the Off position. 10. Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg. Then install the lock plate on the other end of the lanyard into the outboard stop switch 11.

  • Page 21: Stopping The Remote Controlled Outboard

    Stopping the Remote Control Outboard PROCEDURE: Rotate the Key switch to the off position. NOTE: The outboard can also be stopped by pulling the lanyard and removing the lock plate from the Tether stop switch. In emergency situations, the main Power Cable connector can also be removed to disconnect power from the outboard.
  • Page 22: Trimming The Outboard Motor

    Trimming the Outboard Motor There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle. 1. Stop the outboard. 2. Remove the trim rod from the clamp bracket while slightly tilting the outboard motor up. 3.
  • Page 23: Tilting Up And Down (Warnings)

    Tilting Up and Down If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce corrosion. WARNING: Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
  • Page 24: Tilting Up

    Tilting Up 1. Place the On-Off-Battery switch in the Off position and face the outboard motor forward. If this is a Remote Control Model, turn the Key switch to off and remove the key. Tighten the steering friction adjuster by turning it clockwise to prevent the motor from turning freely.
  • Page 25: Tilting Down

    Tilting Down 1. Slightly tilt the outboard motor up. 2. Slowly tilt the outboard motor down while pulling the tilt support bar lever up. 3. Loose the steering friction adjuster by turning it counterclockwise, and adjust the steering friction according to operator preference.
  • Page 26: Cruising In Shallow Water/Salt Water

    WARNING: If there is too much resistance it could be difficult to steer, which could result in an accident. Cruising in Other Conditions and Cruising in Shallow Water The outboard motor can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallow water. WARNING: The tilt lock mechanism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used.
  • Page 27: Maintenance Procedures

    Be sure to turn off the outboard when you perform maintenance unless otherwise specified. This work should always be done by a qualified mechanic or your authorized PARSUN dealer. CAUTION: If replacement parts are necessary, use only genuine PARSUN parts or appropriate parts of the same type and quality.
