Engine oil level

Check the engine oil level before each use.

CAUTION:

Be sure to check the engine oil level before operating the watercraft for the first time.

Do not run the engine with too much or not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could flow into the air filter case and the engine could be damaged.

Checking the engine oil level:

1.Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi- tion.

2.Remove the rear and front seats. (See pages 2-5 and 2-6 for seat removal and installation procedures.)

3.Remove the oil tank filler cap 1, wipe the dipstick clean, and then screw the filler cap into the filler hole completely. Remove the filler cap again and check that the oil level is at least at the mini- mum level mark 2 on the dipstick.

4.If the oil level is below the minimum level mark, pour enough oil so that the oil level is at the minimum level mark on the dip- stick, and then install the filler cap. If the oil level is at the minimum level mark, the watercraft can be operated normally. If adding engine oil to the oil tank, it is rec- ommended to the check the oil level again as follows.

NOTE:

The oil level on the dipstick rises approximately 60 mm (2.4 in) per 1 L (1.1 US qt,

0.9Imp qt) of engine oil added to the oil tank.
