Operate the throttle levers
several times to make sure there is no
hesitation in their travel. Operation should
be smooth over the complete range of
motion, and each le- ver should return
completely to the idle po- sition.
Look for loose or damaged
connections of the throttle and shift
cables.

Engine oil
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright
po- sition (not tilted). NOTICE: If the
motor is not level, the oil level
indicated on the dipstick may not be
accurate.
2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the dipstick and remove it again.
Be sure to completely insert the dipstick
into the dipstick guide, otherwise the oil
level measurement will be incorrect.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick to
be sure the level falls between the
upper and lower marks. Fill with oil if it
is below the lower mark, or drain to the
specified level if it is above the upper
mark.
