Engine oil level

Check the engine oil level before each use.

CAUTION:

When checking the engine oil level on water, be careful of other watercraft, boats, swimmers, and obstacles. The water current and wind can cause the watercraft to move and lead to a colli- sion.

When checking the engine oil level on land, supply water to the cooling water passages. (See page 4-1 for proce- dures on supplying water.)

Make sure that the engine has enough oil but do not overfill it. If there is too little oil, the engine can be damaged. If there is too much oil, the air filter can become saturated with oil, perma- nently damaging the filter and reduc- ing engine performance. Follow the checking procedure carefully.

Make sure that debris and water do not enter the oil tank filler hole. Debris and water in the engine oil can cause seri- ous engine damage.

To check the engine oil level:

1.Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi- tion or launch the watercraft, and then start the engine.

2.Run the engine at trolling speed for 6 minutes or more, and then stop the engine.

NOTE:

If the ambient temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) or less, warm up the engine for an additional 5 minutes.

3.Remove the seat. (See page 2-5 for seat removal and installation procedures.)
