CAUTION:
The oil should be changed more often when the engine is operated under adverse conditions
such as extended trolling.
Check that each grounding wire is properly secured and each connector is engaged securely.
Check that no exhaust or water leaks from the joints between the exhaust cover, cylinder head, and body
cylinder.
Check for oil leaks around the engine.
CAUTION:
If any leaks are found, consult your dealer.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, removing or installing the propeller, always take actions to ensure the engine
does not accidentally start, such as removing the spark plug caps from the spark plugs, placing
the shift control in neutral, and removing the lanyard from the engine stop switch, etc.. Serious
injury can occur if the engine should start and you are standing too close to the propeller.
Do not use your hand to hold the propeller when loosening or tightening the propeller nut. Put a
wood block between the anti-cavitation plate and the propeller to prevent the propeller from
turning.
