GEAR OIL

To check the gear oil level, place the motor in
an upright position, remove the gear oil level
plug and look into the hole. The oil level should
be at the bottom edge of the hole. If the oil level
is low, add the specified gear oil until the level
reaches the bottom edge of the hole. Then,
reinstall and tighten the plug.
Periodic gear oil replacement is essential for
long life of your outboard motor.
To change the gear oil:
1. Make sure the motor is in an upright posi-
tion. Place a drain pan under the lower cas-
ing.
2. Remove the gear oil drain plug 1, then
remove the gear oil level plug 2.
3. After the oil has drained completely, inject
the specified gear oil into the lower drain
hole until it just starts to come out of the
upper level hole. Approximately 420 ml
(14.2/14.8 US/lmp. oz.) will be required.
4. Reinstall and tighten the gear oil level plug
2, then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear
oil drain plug 1.
NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level again, 10 minutes after doing
the procedure in the step 4. If the oil level is low,
slowly inject gear oil to obtain the correct level.
