Do not add gasoline into the oil tank. Fire
or explosion could result.
This engine uses the Yamaha oil injection
system, which provides superior lubrication
by ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-
ing conditions. No fuel premixing is needed.
Simply pour gasoline into the fuel tank and
oil into the oil tank. Convenient indicators
show the status of the oil supply. For details
on how to read the indicators, see page 29.
To fill the engine oil tank, proceed as follows:
1.
Pour engine oil into the remote oil tank.
2.
Turn on the main switch. The Yamaha
oil injection system will automatically
feed oil from the remote oil tank to the
engine oil tank.
3.
Operate the engine normally.

time or stored for a period of time, a min-

Otherwise the oil-feed pump chamber will
not be filled with oil, and no oil will be
supplied.
