Never perform any ENGINE OIL proce-
dure with the motor running, as serious
injury can occur.
The motor must be shut off before any
ENGINE OIL procedures are performed.

engine may be damaged if you do not
change engine oil more frequently under
this type of use.
Change your engine oil more frequently if
your engine is used for extended trolling.

The oil should be changed when engine is

the engine.

1. Place the motor in a vertical position and
remove the motor cover.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
