WARNING

●
Be sure the outboard motor is securely
fastened to the transom or a stable
stand. You could be severely injured if
the outboard motor falls on you.
● Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt support lever
or knob is locked. Severe injury could
occur if the outboard motor accidental-
ly falls.
1. Tilt the outboard motor so that the gear
oil drain screw is at the lowest point pos-
sible.
2. Place a suitable container under the
gear case.
3. Remove the gear oil drain screw and
gasket.
NOTE:
●
If a magnetic gear oil drain screw is
equipped, remove all metal particles from
the screw before installing it.
●
Always use new gaskets. Do not reuse the
removed gaskets.
4. Remove the oil level plug and gasket to
allow the oil to drain completely.
CAUTION:
ECM00710
Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is getting
into the gear case which can cause gear
damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer for re-
pair of the lower unit seals.
NOTE:
For disposal of used oil, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
5. With the outboard motor in a vertical po-
sition, and using a flexible or pressur-
ized filling device, inject the gear oil into
the gear oil drain screw hole.
