WARNING
Do not spray flammable rust inhibitor
products on engine surfaces while the en-
gine is hot. The sprayed substance or pro-
pellants could catch fire.
(1) Remove the spark plugs and pour ap-
proximately one tablespoon of engine oil
into each cylinder.
(2) Grease the spark plug threads and rein-
stall the spark plugs.
(3) With the spark plug caps removed from
the spark plugs, crank the engine for 3
seconds or less using the start switch.
(4) Lubricate all cables such as the throttle
and steering cables.
NOTE:
Use a Yamaha Power Cable Luber and
Yamaha Lube-Zall to pressure-lubricate the
cables and purge out any moisture between
the inner and outer cables.
(5) Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified in "Lubrication points" on page

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
G
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags. Always properly dispose of
gasoline-soaked rags.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill-
G
ing when the fuel level just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up the
filler tube because fuel expands as it
warms up and could overflow. If tempo-
rarily leaving the watercraft with a full
fuel tank, do not leave it in direct sun-
light. Leave it in a well-ventilated area
with the watercraft in a horizontal posi-
tion.
Tighten the fuel tank filler cap securely
G
after refueling.
If you should swallow some gasoline, in-
G
hale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gaso-
line in your eyes, get immediate medical
attention.
If any gasoline spills on your skin or
G
clothing, immediately wash the affected
area with soap and water and change
your clothes.
Top off the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and
add 470 ml (15.9 US oz, 16.5 Imp oz) of
Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner.
