Self-protection
• Protect your eyes by wearing safety
glasses or safety goggles during all opera-
tions involving drilling and grinding, or when
using an air compressor.
• Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when nec-
essary.
Working with crane
• Outboard motors weighing 18.0 kg (39.7 lb)
and over must be carried by a crane.
• Use the wire ropes of adequate strength,
and lift up the outboard motor using the
three point suspension.
• If the outboard motor does not have three
or more points to be suspended, support it
using additional ropes or the like so that the
outboard motor can be lifted and carried in
a stable manner.
Part, lubricant, and sealant
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants, or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the out-
board motor.
Handling of sealant
• Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
• See the material safety data sheet issued
by the manufacturer. Some of the sealants
may be harmful to human health.
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to work safely, and to protect parts from dam-
age.
