Engine oil level
Check the engine oil level before each
use.
CAUTION:
@
When checking the engine oil level on
water, be careful of other watercraft,
boats, swimmers, and obstacles. The
water current and wind can cause the
watercraft to move and lead to a colli-
sion.
When checking the engine oil level on
land, supply water to the cooling water
passages. (See page 4-1 for proce-
dures on supplying water.)
Make sure that the engine has enough
oil but do not overfill it. If there is too
little oil, the engine can be damaged. If
there is too much oil, the air filter can
become saturated with oil, perma-
nently damaging the filter and reduc-
ing engine performance. Follow the
checking procedure carefully.
Make sure that debris and water do not
enter the oil tank filler hole. Debris and
water in the engine oil can cause seri-
ous engine damage.
@
To check the engine oil level:
1. Place the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion or launch the watercraft, and then
start the engine.
2. Run the engine at trolling speed for 6
minutes or more, and then stop the
engine.
