NOTICE
Change the engine oil after the first 20
hours of operation or 3 months, and ev-
ery 100 hours or at 1-year intervals there-
after. Otherwise the engine will wear
quickly.

damage to nature, it is strongly recommend-
ed that you use an oil changer to change the
engine oil. If an oil changer is not available,
drain the engine oil by removing the drain
screw. If you are not familiar with the proce-
dure for changing the engine oil, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
