and repair the cause, and then change the
oil.

Changing the engine oil

Change the engine oil after the first 20
hours of operation or 3 months, and every
100 hours or at 1-year intervals thereafter.
Otherwise the engine will wear quickly.
The engine oil should be extracted with an oil
changer.
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright
position (not tilted). NOTICE: If the out-
board motor is not level, the oil level
indicated on the dipstick may not be
accurate.
2. Start the engine and warm up for 5–10
minutes.
3. Stop the engine and leave it for 5–10
minutes.
4. Remove the top cowling.
5. Remove the oil filler cap 1. Pull out the
dipstick 2 and use the oil changer 3 to
extract the oil completely.

specified capacity.
