Change the engine oil after the first 20
hours of operation or 3 months, and every
100 hours or at 1-year intervals thereafter.
Otherwise the engine will wear quickly.
To prevent spilling oil where it could cause
damage to nature, it is strongly recommended
that you use an oil changer to change the en-
gine oil. If an oil changer is not available, drain
the engine oil by removing the drain screw. If
you are not familiar with the procedure for
changing the engine oil, consult your Yamaha
dealer.
