[. . . ] In this Owner's Manual particularly important information is distinguished in the following ways. The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION!YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! EWM00780 al, please consult your Yamaha dealer. NOTE: The F115TR, LF115TR and the standard accessories are used as a base for the explanations and illustrations in this manual. Therefore some items may not apply to every model. EMU25110 WARNING Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death to the machine operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting or repairing the outboard motor.

[. . . ] Consult your Yamaha dealer or boat manufacturer for further information on determining the proper mounting height. For instructions on setting the trim angle of the outboard motor, see page 41. G EMU30172 1. Center line (keel line) EMU26930 Breaking in engine Your new engine requires a period of breakin to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life. ECM00800 Mounting height (boat bottom) To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the water resistance (drag) of the boat and outboard motor must be made as little as possible. The mounting height of the outboard motor greatly affects the water resistance. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion; and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine speed will rise abnormally and cause the engine to overheat. If the mounting height is too low, the water resistance will increase and thereby reduce engine efficiency. Mount the outboard motor so that the anti-cavitation plate is in alignment with the bottom of the boat. CAUTION: Failure to follow the break-in procedure could result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage. EMU27080 Procedure for 4-stroke models Run the engine under load (in gear with a propeller installed) as follows. For the first hour of operation: Run the engine at 2000 r/min or at approximately half throttle. For the second hour of operation: Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at approximately three-quarter throttle. For the next eight hours of operation: Avoid continuous operation at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time. When enough deposits collect, piston rings begin sticking. Performance drops and engine wear increases dramatically. While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, available from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free Fuel Additive has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably the critical piston-ring-land area, and fuel system components. Follow product labeling for use instructions. G Before starting the engine, make sure that the boat is tightly moored and that you can steer clear of any obstructions. Be sure there are no swimmers in the water near you. When the air vent screw is loosened, gasoline vapor will be released. Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Refrain from smoking, and keep away from open flames and sparks while loosening the air vent screw. This product emits exhaust gases which contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which could cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. [. . . ] Make sure the remote control lever is in neutral. Otherwise the boat could unexpectedly start to move, which Emergency starting engine 1. Remove the two bolts holding the flywheel cover. Lift up the rear of flywheel cover and pull it forward to remove it. 74 Trouble Recovery ZMU04250 4. Prepare the engine for starting. [. . . ]
