GENERAL INFORMATION MACHINE IDENTIFICATION SERIAL NUMBER The serial number is printed on the label “1” affixed to the position of the multi-purpose engine as shown in the illus- tration. • The first four digits identify the model, and the remaining digits indicates the production number.
Be sure to use the correct special tool for the job to guard against damage. Oil, grease and seals Be sure to use genuine Yamaha oils, grease and sealers, or the equivalents. Expendable parts Always replace the gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins and cir- clips with new parts when servicing engine.
• Make sure that the parts, move smoothly after each sec- tion of the machine is assembled. ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS We recommend the use of genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil and/or grease, recommended by Yamaha, for assembly and adjustment.
BASIC SERVICE INFORMATION BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS Install the bearing(s) “1” and oil seal(s) “2” with their manu- facture’s marks or numbers facing outward. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seal(s), apply a light coating of lightweight lithium base grease to the seal lip(s).
