8 Be sure the outboard is securely fas-
tened to the transom or a stable stand.
You could be severely injured if the out-
board falls on you.
8 Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt-support
lever is locked. Severe injury could
occur if the outboard accidentally falls.
1) Put the outboard in a vertical position
(not tilted).
2) Place a suitable container under the
gear-case.
3) Remove the oil drain plug 1.
NOTE:
The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove all

metal particles from the plug before rein-
stalling it.
w
4) Remove the oil level plug 2 to allow
the oil to drain completely.

drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
q
ting into the gear-case which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer

for repair of the lower unit seals.

For disposal of used oil consult your
Yamaha dealer.
