Checking the engine oil (212X / 212S / 212)
WARNING
Engine oil is extremely hot immediately af-
ter the engines are turned off. Coming in
contact with or getting any engine oil on
your clothes could result in burns.
NOTICE
Make sure debris and water do not enter
the oil filler hole. Debris and water in the
engine oil can cause serious engine dam-
age.
To check the engine oil level:
(1) Place the boat in a precisely level posi-
tion on land with the engine stopped. If
the engine was running, allow the engine
oil to settle by waiting 5 minutes or more
before checking the oil level.
(2) Open the engine hood. (See page 97.)
