CHANGING GEAR OIL

w

8 Be sure the outboard is securely fas-

tened to the transom or a stable stand.
You could be severely injured if the out-
board falls on you.

8 Never get under the lower unit while it

is tilted, even when the tilt-support
lever is locked. Severe injury could
occur if the outboard accidentally falls.

1)

Put the outboard in a vertical position
(not tilted).

2)

Place a suitable container under the
gear-case.

3)

Remove the oil drain plug

1.

NOTE:

The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove all
metal particles from the plug before rein-
stalling it.

4)

Remove the oil level plug

2 to allow

the oil to drain completely.

Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gear-case which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer
for repair of the lower unit seals.

NOTE:

For disposal of used oil consult your
Yamaha dealer.

5)

With the outboard motor in an verti-
cal position, using a flexible or pres-
surized filling device, inject the gear
oil into the oil drain plug hole.
