Lubrication

1)Remove the spark plugs, and spray a 10 second spray of Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil into each cylinder. Grease the spark plug threads and rein- stall the spark plugs and torque to prop- er specification.

(Refer to the Periodic Cleaning and Inspection section, “Cleanning and adjusting spark plug.”).

2)Turn the engine over with the stop lan- yard disconnected to work the fogging oil into the piston rings.

3)Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for- mation of condensation. For models with a remote tank, it may be necessary to manually override the control unit to completely fill the engine main tank.

(Refer to the Troubleshooting section, “Temporary action in emergency.”).

4)Change the lower unit oil. (Refer to the Periodic Cleaning and Inpsection sec- tion, “Changing gear oil.”). Inspect the oil for the presence of water which indi- cates a leaky seal. Seal replacement should be performed by an authorized Yamaha dealership prior to use.

5)Grease all grease fittings. (Refer to the Periodic Cleaning and Inspection sec- tion, “Greasing.”)
