CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

WARNING
• Position the Snowblower on a level
surface.
• When you have just stopped the
engine, do not drain the engine oil
as it will still be very hot. Change the
engine oil after the engine has
cooled down.
TIP
• As correct disposal of used oils is man-
dated by regulations (such as pollution
prevention act), consult your Yamaha
dealer for oil disposal guidelines.
• For the first engine oil change, change
the engine oil after 20 operating hours
(that is, when you have refueled four
times). After that, change the engine oil
each time the winter season begins.
