OIL CHANGING PROCEDURE
1.
Lock the outboard in the full tilt up position.
2. Position the outboard so the drain hole is facing downward.
3. Remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil into an appropriate
container.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a crankcase oil pump when changing the oil or
engine damage may occur.
4. After the initial oil has been drained, temporarily install the drain plug.
Disengage the tilt lock and lower the outboard. Wait a minute to allow the
remaining oil that was trapped in the engine to return to the drain. Return
the outboard to the full tilt position and drain the remaining oil.
5. Lubricate the seal on the drain plug with oil and reinstall.
