ly after stopping the engine. The oil is

fastened to the transom or a stable
stand.

hours of operation, and every 100 hours or

warm.

The engine oil can be extracted with an oil
changer (recommended), or drained by re-
moving the oil drain screw.
Extracting the oil with an oil changer (normal
oil change)

sition (not tilted).
