[. . . ] When operating in weedy water, run at slow speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear weeds from the propeller and water intakes. Remove weeds from propeller area and water intakes before operating at higher speed. 1. Trailering bracket and swivel bracket lubrication points (annually) 1. Tilt tube lubrication points (annually) 28 OPERATION HIGH ALTITUDE Your outboard's EMM will automatically compensate for changes in altitude. (900 m), you will experience a slight loss of power due to reduced air density. If your engine drops below the recommended RPM operating range at full throttle, have your Dealer select a lower pitch propeller. If you return to sea level, have your Dealer install the original propeller and verify correct RPM operating range. UNDER TOW Should you require a tow from another boat: · Shift your engine to NEUTRAL; · Tilt its gearcase out of the water; · Off-load all persons into another boat; and · Keep speed slower than planing speed. FUSE A blown fuse will not allow the engine to crank. Do not replace it with higher rated fuse; see your Dealer for service. FREEZING WEATHER IMPORTANT: Use Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil when operating your Evinrude E-TEC outboard in freezing weather. During operation in freezing weather, keep the gearcase submerged at all times. Upon removing your outboard from the water, leave it in a vertical position until its cooling system is drained. Water remaining in the gearcase, cooling system or other components can freeze, causing serious engine damage. IMPORTANT: If your outboard's gearcase is equipped with an integral speedometer pickup, all water must be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase damage. Refer to Storage on page 34. Fuse Replacement IMPORTANT: Use only fuses of the same rating. Install spare fuse in place of failed fuse. 1 SHALLOW WATER IMPORTANT: Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom. 2 1. Spare fuse DUAL OUTBOARD OPERATION When in reverse above slow speed, be sure both outboards are running, even if one is in NEUTRAL. If it is necessary to return to harbor with one outboard not running, tilt the inoperative outboard high enough to keep its propeller out of the water. IMPORTANT: Failure to install cover securely may cause electrical problems. 29 Using Your E-TEC Outboard ROUTINE INSPECTION CHECKLIST Common Sense Pre-launch Checks (Each Use) Check fuel level. Check function of steering, throttle, shift, and emergency stop circuit and lanyard. Confirm the cooling system is operational (water intake screens and water pump indicator). Confirm this Operator's Guide is onboard and readily accessible. Periodic Check condition of anti-corrosion anodes (annually or every 100 hours). Clean and wax upper and lower engine covers (annually or every 100 hours). In salt water applications, check lubrication points and corrosion protection. Use Evinrude anti-corrosion spray or Evinrude "6 in 1" multi-purpose lubricant (annually or 100 hours). 30 MAINTENANCE 31 Maintenance ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishments or individual.
