Gearcase Lubricant
With outboard in vertical position, check the gear-

the lubricant level is not obvious.
• Add HPF XR gearcase lubricant as needed.
Oil Level
Make sure oil tank contains an adequate supply of
the correct lubricant for the outboard and that the
SystemCheck Low Oil Warning test has been
performed.
When starting the outboard for the first time, refer

ning outboard:

level to the bottom of the fill plug threads.
• Three Piston System–Add Power Trim/Tilt
