ENGINE OIL
Engine oil change
The oil should be changed when engine is
warm so that the oil will drain thoroughly from
the engine.
To change the engine oil:
1. Place the motor in a vertical position and
remove the motor cover.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
WARNING
Never perform any ENGINE OIL proce-
dure with the motor running, as serious
injury can occur.
The motor must be shut off before any
ENGINE OIL procedures are performed.
NOTICE
Extended trolling can reduce oil life. Your
engine may be damaged if you do not
change engine oil more frequently under
this type of use.
Change your engine oil more frequently if
your engine is used for extended trolling.
3. Place a drain pan under the engine oil drain
screw.
4. Remove the engine oil drain screw 1 and
gasket 2, then let the engine oil drain.
5. After draining, secure the engine oil drain
screw with a new gasket.
NOTE:
There are spare gaskets in the tool bag.
6. Fill with recommended engine oil to the
upper level.
