gine will be damaged from
overheating. Before starting the en-

cooling water passages. Avoid run-
ning the outboard motor at high
speed while on the flushing attach-
ment, otherwise overheating could
occur.

5. Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clog-
ging up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addi-
tion, fogging/lubricating of the engine is
mandatory to prevent excessive engine
damage due to rust. Perform the flush-
ing and fogging at the same time.
WARNING! Do not touch or remove
electrical parts when starting or dur-
ing operation. Keep hands, hair, and
clothes away from the flywheel and
other rotating parts while the engine
is running.

proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 63.

mation of condensation. For models with
a remote oil tank, it may be necessary to
manually override the control unit to
completely fill the engine oil tank.
3. Change the gear oil. For instructions,
see page 67. Inspect the oil for the pres-
ence of water which indicates a leaky
seal. Seal replacement should be per-
formed by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to use.
4. Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 63.
