 WARNING
Engine oil can cause injury to people or
pets. Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Even brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin.
• Keep new and used oil away from chil-
dren and pets.
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and water-
proof gloves when handling oil.
• Wash with soap if oil contacts your
skin.
• Launder any clothing or rags that are
wet with oil.
NOTE:
Recycle or properly dispose of used engine oil.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the
ground, down a drain, or into the water.

GEAR OIL

To check the gear oil level, adjust the engine to
an upright position, remove the gear oil level
plug and look into the hole. The oil level should
be at the bottom edge of the hole. If the oil level
is low, add the specified gear oil until the level
reaches the bottom edge of the hole. Then,
reinstall and tighten the plug.
Periodic gear oil replacement is essential for
long life of your outboard motor.
To change the gear oil:
1. Make sure the motor is in an upright posi-
tion. Place a drain pan under the lower cas-
ing.
2. Remove the gear oil drain plug 1, then
remove the gear oil level plug 2.
3. After the oil has drained completely, inject
the specified gear oil into the lower drain
hole until it just starts to come out of the
upper level hole. Approximately 0.19 L (0.2/
0.2 US/Imp. qt.) will be required.
4. Reinstall and tighten the gear oil level plug
2, then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear
oil drain plug 1.
NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level 10 minutes after following the
procedure in the step 4. If the oil level is low,
slowly inject gear oil into the gear oil level hole
up to the correct level.
