CHANGING ENGINE OIL
WARNING

●
Change the engine oil after the first 10
hours of operation, and every 100
hours or at 6-month intervals thereaf-
ter. Otherwise, the engine will wear
quickly.
● Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the
engine is in an upright position (not
tilted) when checking and changing
the engine oil.
● If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
may cause leakage or damage.
@
1) Put the outboard motor in an upright
position.

hold a larger amount than the engine oil
capacity. Loosen and remove the drain
bolt
