Fuel Tank; Engine Oil - Yamaha AR230 Owner's/Operator's Manual

FUEL TANK

If the fuel tank needs to be cleaned
or when any water is found in the fuel
system, take the 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 thereaf-
ter 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 filter 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 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 boat. Continuing
to operate under such conditions
could cause severe engine damage.
