WARNING

to avoid burns.
Be sure the outboard is securely fas-
tened to the transom or a stable stand.

Change the engine oil after the first 10
hours of operation, and every 100
hours or at 6-month intervals thereaf-
ter. Otherwise, the engine will wear
quickly.
Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the
engine is in an upright position (not
tilted) when checking and changing
the engine oil.
If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
may cause leakage or damage.
@
1) Put the outboard motor in an upright
position.
2) Prepare a suitable container which can
hold a larger amount than the engine oil
capacity. Loosen and remove the drain
bolt
