CHANGING GEAR OIL
w
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 posi-
tion (not tilted).
w
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.
2) Place a suitable container under the
gearcase.
3) Remove the oil drain plug.
NOTE:
The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove
all metal particles from the plug before
reinstalling it.
4) Remove the oil level plug to allow
the oil to drain completely.
1 Oil-level plug
2 Oil drain-plug
cC
Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gearcase which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer
for repair of the lower unit seals.
