Remove the oil tank filler cap again and
check that the oil level is between the
minimum level mark a
and maximum
level mark b
on the dipstick.
If the engine oil is below the minimum
level mark b
, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the correct
level.
If the engine oil is above the maximum
level mark a
, extract sufficient oil using
an oil changer to lower it to the correct
level.
NOTE:
If the oil temperature is low, the reading on
the dipstick will be low, and if the tempera-
ture is high, the reading on the dipstick will
be high.
Engine oil change — using oil changer
WARNING
Avoid changing the engine oil immediately
after turning the engine off. The oil is hot
and should be handled with care to avoid
burns.
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could
spray out or the engine could be dam-
aged.
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds without supplying water, when
checking the oil level on land.
The engine could overheat.
Be sure to change the engine oil after the
first 10 hours of operation, and every 100
hours thereafter or at the start of a new
season, otherwise the engine will wear
quickly.
1. Warm the engine up, and then put the
watercraft in a horizontal position.
