Inspecting idle speed
NOTICE
When checking the engine idle speed, make
sure to supply water to the cooling water
passages by placing the outboard motor in the
water or by using a flushing attachment or test
tank.
To check the engine idle speed, a diagnostic
tachometer is required.
Changing engine oil
NOTICE
Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours
of operation or 3 months, and every 100 hours
or at 1-year intervals thereafter. Otherwise the
engine will wear quickly.
Extract the engine oil with an oil changer.
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright
position (not tilted). NOTICE: If the motor is not
level, the oil level indicated on the dipstick
may not be accurate.

the idle speed for 5-10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine and leave it for 5-10
minutes.
