CHANGING ENGINE OIL

w

8Avoid draining the engine oil immedi- ately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should be handled with care to avoid burns.

8Be sure the outboard is securely fas- tened to the transom or a stable stand.

cC

8Change the engine oil after the first 10 hours of operation, and every 100 hours or at 6-month intervals thereafter. Oth- erwise, the engine will wear quickly.

8Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the engine is in an upright position (not tilt- ed) when checking and changing the engine oil.

8If the oil level is above the upper level

 

 

mark, drain until the level meets the

 

 

specified capacity. Overfilling the oil

 

 

may cause leakage or damage.

 

1) Put the outboard motor in an upright

 

 

position (not tilted).

 

2)

Prepare a suitable container which

 

 

can hold a larger amount than the

 

000701

engine oil capacity. Loosen and

 

 

remove the drain bolt 1 while hold-

 

 

ing the container under the drain

 

 

hole. Let the oil drain completely.

 

 

Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.

q

3)

Put a new gasket on the drain bolt.

 

 

Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket

 

 

and reinstall the drain bolt.
