3. Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
install the drain screw.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into con-
tact with the surface of the drain hole. Then
tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten the drain
screw to the correct torque with a torque
wrench as soon as possible.
4. Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Install the filler cap.
5. Start the engine and watch to make sure
the low oil pressure warning indicator (if
equipped) turns off. Make sure that there
are no oil leaks.
CAUTION:
ECM00680
If the low oil pressure warning indicator
does not turn off or if there are oil leaks,
stop the engine and find the cause. Con-
tinued operation with a problem could
cause severe engine damage. Consult
your Yamaha dealer if the problem cannot
be located and corrected.
6. Turn off the engine and wait 3 minutes.
Recheck the oil level using the dipstick to
be sure the level falls between the upper
and lower marks. Fill with oil if it is below
the lower mark, or drain to the specified
level if it is above the upper mark.
