Lubrication (oil injection models)
Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is
poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
1.
Grease the spark plug threads and in-
stall the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 56.
Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for-
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.
Change the gear oil. For instructions,
see page 62. 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.

Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic

permanent eye injury.
