OIL CONTROL SETTINGS
Oil Priming
The oiling system of the outboard must be primed:
When the outboard is first installed.
Whenever the oil supply to the oil lift pump is disconnected or disrupted.
Whenever an oiling system component is removed or replaced.
Refer to Oil Supply Priming on p. 61.
Oiling Rates
EMM programming controls the rate of oil injection based on engine RPM. This rate can be adjusted for the grade of oil being used, and also for power head break-in. Use Evinrude Diagnostics_ software to access these features.
Refer to Oil Injection Rate on p. 60.
Break-in Oiling
The EMM automatically supplies extra oil to the engine during the first five hours of operation, above 2000 RPM.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to make sure the break-in program has been started on a new outboard.
Use the diagnostics software to start break-in oiling after a powerhead rebuild.

IMPORTANT: The operator must monitor the oil tank level to confirm oil consumption This may require several hours of operation above idle speed.
OILING SYSTEM TESTS
IMPORTANT: Always perform visual inspections to identify oiling system leaks. Make sure the oil tank is filled and oil supply is not contaminated.
Oil Injection Pump Static Test
IMPORTANT: Static tests are performed with the outboard not running.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to activate the Oil Injector test. This test starts the EMM control function for the oil injection pump.
The EMM controls the pump by providing ground through pin 23 (blue wire) of the J1-B connector and pin 2 (blue wire) of the oil tank connector.

IMPORTANT: This test is operating the pump with 30 V on the system voltage (55 V) circuit. The start assist circuit (SAC) of the EMM converts battery voltage (12 V) to 30 V of system voltage. Battery must be fully charged and connections must be clean and tight. Pump activation should be carefully confirmed.
Use an inductive timing light to monitor current flow through the ground circuit (blue wire) at the oil tank connector (pin 2).
If the light flashes, the EMM and oil injection circuits are not at fault.
Refer to Oil Injection Pump Voltage Test on p. 208.
