CHANGING GEAR OIL
w
Never get under the lower unit while it is
tilted, even when the tilt- support lever is
locked. Severe injury could occur if the
outboard accidentally falls.
1) Put the outboard in a vertical position
(not tilted).
w
Be sure the outboard is securely fastened
to the transom or a stable stand. You
could be severely injured if the outboard
falls on you.
2) Place a suitable container under the
gearcase.
3) Remove the oil drain plug.
NOTE:
The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove all
metal particles from the plug before rein-
stalling it.
4) Remove the oil level plug to allow the
oil to drain completely.

Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gearcase which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer
for repair of the lower unit seals.
NOTE:
For disposal of used oil consult your
Yamaha dealer.
