CAUTION:
q If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
could cause leakage or damage.
This procedure must be performed while
the outboard motor is in the water. A
flushing attachment or test tank can be
used.

CAUTION:
A diagnostic tachometer should be used for
this procedure. Results may vary depending
on whether testing is conducted with the
flushing attachment, in a test tank, or with the
outboard motor in the water.
Change the engine oil after the first 10
hours of operation, and every 100 hours
or at 6-month intervals thereafter. Other-
wise the engine will wear quickly.

quires adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer
or other qualified mechanic.
