Leave the outboard motor for 5-10 min-
utes.

Remove oil dipstick and wipe it clean.

Insert the dipstick and remove it again.
Be sure to completely insert the dipstick
into the dipstick guide, otherwise the oil
level measurement will be incorrect.
10. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick
to be sure the level falls between the up-
per and lower marks. Consult your
Yamaha dealer if the oil level is out of
specified level.
11. Start the engine and make sure that the
low oil pressure-alert indicator remains
off. Also, make sure that there are no oil
leaks.
NOTICE:
If the low oil pressure-
alert indicator comes on or if there
are oil leaks, stop the engine and find
the cause. Continued operation with
a problem could cause severe engine
damage. Consult your Yamaha dealer
if the problem cannot be located and
corrected.
