Engine oil level
Check the engine oil level before each
use.
CAUTION:
@
● Be sure to check the engine oil level
before operating the watercraft for the
first time.
● Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could
flow into the air filter case and the
engine could be damaged.
@
Checking the engine oil level:
1. Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
2. Remove the rear and front seats. (See
pages 2-5 and 2-6 for seat removal and
installation procedures.)
3. Remove the oil tank filler cap
1
, wipe
the dipstick clean, and then screw the
filler cap into the filler hole completely.
Remove the filler cap again and check
that the oil level is at least at the mini-
mum level mark
2
on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is below the minimum level
mark, pour enough oil so that the oil level
is at the minimum level mark on the dip-
stick, and then install the filler cap. If the
oil level is at the minimum level mark, the
watercraft can be operated normally. If
adding engine oil to the oil tank, it is rec-
ommended to the check the oil level
again as follows.
NOTE:
@
The oil level on the dipstick rises approxi-
mately 60 mm (2.4 in) per 1 L (1.1 US qt,
0.9 Imp qt) of engine oil added to the oil
tank.
