3.5 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:
Change the engine oil after the first 10 hours of operation, and every 100 hours or at 6-month
intervals thereafter. Otherwise the engine will wear quickly. Change the engine oil when the oil
is still warm.
1.
Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).
