2) If the level is at least at the minimum
level “L” mark
on the dipstick,
but less than the “F” mark
, the
engine can be operated.
NOTICE:
If the level is above the “F” mark,
the engine is overfilled. Consult a
Yamaha dealer to have oil extracted
from the engine to avoid damage.
3) If oil must be added, add just enough
oil to raise the level to the “L” mark.
Adding more oil could result in an
overfilled engine once it warms up.
4) Repeat for the other engine.
Warm Engine Check
1) Be sure the engine is warmed to
operating temperature.
TIP: The engines are at the proper
operating temperature after they have
been run for 5 minutes or more at 7000
rpm or above and then at a trolling
speed for 2 to 3 minutes. If the boat is
on the trailer, run the engine with the
flush attachment at an idle speed for 6
to 8 minutes, or at least 13 minutes if air
temperature is 59° F (15°C) or colder.
2) Remove the oil tank filler cap
,
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag,
and then screw the cap on securely.
Remove the cap again and check
the oil level.
3) The oil level should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks. If the level is below the “L”
mark
, then add only enough oil
to raise the level above the “L” mark
but never above the “F” mark
.
NOTICE:
If the level is above the
“F” mark, the engine is overfilled.
Consult a Yamaha dealer to have
oil extracted from the engine to
avoid damage.
4) Repeat for the other engine.
