Lubrication (oil injection models)
1.
Install the spark plug(s) and torque to
proper specification. For information on
spark plug installation, see page 53.
2.
Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for-
mation of condensation. For models with
a remote oil tank, it may be necessary to
manually override the control unit to
completely fill the engine oil tank.
3.
Change the gear oil. For instructions,
see page 59. Inspect the oil for the pres-
ence of water which indicates a leaky
seal. Seal replacement should be per-
formed by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to use.
4.
Grease all grease fittings. For further de-
tails, see page 53.
NOTE:
For long-term storage, fogging the engine
with oil is recommended. Contact your
Yamaha dealer for information about fogging
oil and procedures for your engine.

WARNING
Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is
48
poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
G
fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.
Wear protective eye gear when han-
G
dling or working near batteries.

Drink large quantities of water or milk
G
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
G
ea.
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
G
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
G
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC
FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Follow the manual of the battery for the han-
dling of the battery. Batteries vary among
manufacturers. Therefore the following pro-
cedures may not always apply. Consult your
battery manufacturer's instructions.
