Maintenance
parts while the engine is running.
NOTE:
When using the flushing attachment,
G
maintain adequate water pressure and a
steady water flow.
If the overheat warning device is activated,
G
turn the engine off, and consult your
Yamaha dealer.
6. Run the engine at a fast idle for a few
minutes in neutral position while supply-
ing fresh water.
7. Just prior to turning off the engine, quick-
ly spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine
Fogging Oil" (Part No. LUB-STRRT-12-

Lubrication (oil injection models)

1. Grease the spark plug threads and in-
stall the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 55.
2. Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for-
mation of condensation. For models with
a remote oil tank, it may be necessary to
manually override the control unit to
completely fill the engine oil tank.
3. Change the gear oil. For instructions,
see page 62. Inspect the oil for the pres-
50
ence of water which indicates a leaky
seal. Seal replacement should be per-
formed by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to use.
4. Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 55.
