Changing engine oil
WARNING
• Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should be
handled with care to avoid burns.
• Be sure the outboard motor is securely fastened to the transom or a stable stand.
CAUTION:
• Do not overll the oil, and be sure the outboard motor is upright (not tilted) when checking and
hanging the engine oil.
• If the oil level is above the upper level mark, drain until the level meets the specied capacity.
Overlling the oil could cause leakage or damage.
CAUTION:
Change the engine oil after the rst 10 hours of operation, and every 100 hours or at 6-rnonth
intervals thereafter. Otherwise the engine will wear quickly.
NOTE:
Change the engine oil when the oil is still warm.
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position ( not tilted ).
2. Prepare a suitable container that holds a larger amount than the engine oil capacity. Loosen
and remove the drain screw while holding the container under the drain hole. Then remove the
oil ller cap. Let the oil drain completely. Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
