FUEL TANK
If the fuel tank needs to be cleaned or
when any water is found in the fuel sys-
tem, take the Sport Boat to your
Yamaha dealer for service.

ENGINE OIL

WARNING
Engine oil is extremely hot after the
engine is turned off. Coming into
contact with or getting any engine
oil on your clothes could result in
burns.
CAUTION:
• Be sure the engine has enough
oil but do not overfill. If there is
too little oil, the engine can be
damaged. If there is too much oil,
the air filter can become saturat-
ed with oil, permanently damag-
ing the filter and reducing engine
performance.
• Be sure to change the engine oil
after the first 10 hours of opera-
tion, and every 100 hours there-
after or at the start of a new
season, otherwise the engine will
wear quickly.
• The oil filter should be replaced
every two years or every 200
hours of operation. Have a
Yamaha dealer replace the oil fil-
ter when necessary.
M
AINTENANCE
It is recommended to have a Yamaha
dealer change the engine oil. However,
if you choose to change the oil on your
own and you have the special equip-
ment necessary to do so, refer to the
service manual for this Sport Boat.
NOTE: Dispose of used oil according
to local regulations.
CAUTION:
If oil is leaking or the oil-pressure
warning indicator comes on when
the engine is running, immediately
turn the engine off and have a
Yamaha dealer check the Sport
Boat. Continuing to operate under
such conditions could cause severe
engine damage.
