After Initial 50 Hours of Operation

After Initial 50 Hours of Operation

Perform the following procedures after the first 50 hours of operation. • Lubricating the engine coupler • Changing the stern-drive oil

■ Lubricating the engine coupler Lubricate the engine coupler every 50 hours if operated at idle for prolonged periods of time. Note:The stern-drive may be equipped with a sealed engine coupler. The sealed coupler and shaft splines can be lubricated without removing the stern-drive. Apply approximately 8 to 10 pumps of grease to the engine coupler grease fitting (1, Figure2) to lubricate the engine coupler splines through the grease fittings, if equipped. Use a typical hand-operated grease gun to apply the grease.
