If the low oil pressure warning indicator
does not turn off or if there are oil leaks,
stop the engine and find the cause. Con-
tinued operation with a problem could
cause severe engine damage. Consult
your Yamaha dealer if the problem cannot
be located and corrected.

be sure the level falls between the upper

the lower mark, or drain to the specified
level if it is above the upper mark.

regulations.
NOTE:
● For more information on the disposal of
used oil, consult your Yamaha dealer.
● Change the oil more often when operating
the engine under adverse conditions such
as extended trolling.
