(5)If the engine oil level is below the mini- mum level mark, add enough oil so that the oil level is between the minimum and maximum level marks on the dipstick,

and then install the filler cap. If the engine oil level is significantly above the maximum level mark, the oil tank is overfilled. Have a Yamaha dealer remove the excessive amount of engine oil.

Water separator

Check the water separator for water. The water separator retains any water that may have entered through the fuel tank breather hose if the watercraft was capsized. Normally, the water separator is empty.

2Drain screw

If water remains in the water separator, drain it by removing the drain screw. Place a drain pan under the water separator to catch the draining water or use a dry cloth to soak up any water that could spill into the watercraft. If any water spills into the watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth. Also, be sure to install the drain screw after draining the water separator.
