8 Be sure the outboard is securely fas-
tened to the transom or a stable stand.
You could be severely injured if the out-
board falls on you.
8 Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt-support
lever/knob is locked. Severe injury
could occur if the outboard accidentally
falls.
1) Tilt the outboard motor so that the oil
drain plug is at the lowest point possi-
ble.
2) Place a suitable container under the
gear-case.

Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gear-case which can cause
