BEFORE OPERATING ENGINE
Remove the shroud (cover) and check the crankcase
fo
r proper oil levels. Remember that a 4 cycle outboard
uses crankcase oil to lubricate all internal engine com-
ponents such as cranksha , rods and pistons along with
all related bearings and seals. For changing crankcase
oil contact your closest Regal dealer for additional in-
formation since they have the special tools and knowl-
edge for these maintenance procedures. Check your
outboard owner’s manual for correct oil type and vis-
cosity. See gure 1 for dipstick location.
Following are basic instructions and tips before and
a er starting your outboard engine. For more in depth
information refer to your outboard engine owner’s
manual. Be sure to read and understand all safety
labels along with all other related information before
attempting to operate your cra .
To check the crankcase oil do the following:
1. Ensure the outboard is setting in a at vertical position
or the dipstick may not display an accurate oil level.
2. Remove the crankcase oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Reinstall the crankcase oil dipstick completely into the
hole. Remove it again.
4. e oil level should be between the upper and lower
dipstick holes. As needed add the manufacturer’s
recommended oil or contact your closest dealer especially
if the oil is contaminated with water which will show a
milky color verses a clear or light amber look.
