SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Engine Oil Change
An engine oil evacuation device may
be used to remove the engine oil, if
you do not wish to remove the
outboard from the boat.
Drain the used oil while the engine is
warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position, and turn the vent knob to the
OFF position to close the fuel vent.
2. Remove the outboard from the boat.
3. Loosen the oil drain bolt, and turn
the outboard motor on its tiller
handle side.
If you remove the oil drain bolt
before turning the outboard motor
on its steering handle side, oil may
spill over the outboard motor.
4. Remove the oil drain bolt and
O-ring to drain the oil.
Improper disposal of engine oil can be
harmful to the environment. If you change
your own oil, please dispose of the used
oil properly. Put it in a sealed container,
and take it to a recycling center. Do not
discard it in a trash bin, dump it on the
ground, or pour it down a drain.
5. Install the oil drain bolt and a new
O-ring.
6. Stand the engine in upright position and
tighten the oil drain bolt securely.
