GEAR OIL
To check the gear oil level, adjust the engine to
an upright position, remove the gear oil level
plug 1 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 2, then
remove the air vent hole plug 3.
3. After the oil has drained completely, inject
the specified gear oil into the gear oil drain
hole 2 until it just starts to come out of the
air vent hole 3. Approximately 1100 ml
(37.2/38.7 US/lmp. oz.) will be required.
4. Reinstall and tighten the air vent hole plug
3, then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear
oil drain plug 2.
