Filling the oil tank
WARNING
●Do not add gasoline to the oil tank.
Fire or explosion could result.
●Oil in the bilge is a serious fire hazard.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the oil tank to become com-
pletely empty. If the oil tank becomes
empty the oil injection pump must be
bled to ensure proper oil flow, otherwise
engine damage may occur. If bleeding of
the oil pump is necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed it.
1. Open the hood to access the oil tank
filler cap. Also, remove all seats to watch
the oil level. (See page 2-7 for hood, and
2-5 and 2-6 for rear and front seat.)
2. Open the oil tank filler cap, and very
slowly add engine oil to the oil tank.
3. Stop pouring when the oil just reaches
the bottom of the filler tube.
