WARNING
EWM00090
●
Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
●
Keep hands, hair, and clothes away
from the flywheel and other rotating
parts while the engine is running.
NOTE:
●
When using the flushing attachment,
maintain adequate water pressure and a
steady water flow.
●
If the overheat warning device is activated,
turn the engine off, and consult your
Yamaha dealer.
6.
Run the engine at a fast idle for a few
minutes in neutral position while supply-
ing fresh water.
7.
Just prior to turning off the engine, quick-
ly spray “Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fog-
ging Oil” (Part No. LUB-STRRT-12-00)
alternately into the intake silencer or the
fogging hole of the silencer cover, if
equipped. When properly done, the en-
gine will smoke excessively and almost
stall.

Remove the flushing attachment and
wipe off any excess water.

Install the top cowling and propeller.
10. Drain the cooling water completely out
of the motor. Clean the body thoroughly.

Lubrication (oil injection models)
1.
Grease the spark plug threads and in-
stall the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 56.
2.
Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for-
mation of condensation. For models with
a remote oil tank, it may be necessary to
manually override the control unit to
completely fill the engine oil tank.
3.
Change the gear oil. For instructions,
see page 63. Inspect the oil for the pres-
ence of water which indicates a leaky
seal. Seal replacement should be per-
formed by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to use.
4.
Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 56.

Wax the cowling with a non-abrasive
wax such as “Yamaha Silicone Wax”
