INFO General information
Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to pro-
vide quality service, observe the following
safety procedures.
Rotating part
•Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, per-
sonal flotation device straps, and so on,
can become entangled with internal rotating
parts of the engine, resulting in serious
injury or death.
•Keep the top cowling installed whenever
possible. Do not remove or install the top
cowling when the engine is running.
•Only operate the engine with the top cowl-
ing removed according to the specific
instructions in the manual. Keep hands,
feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal flota-
tion device straps, and so on, away from
any exposed moving parts.
Hot part
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch any
parts under the top cowling until the engine
has cooled.
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while start-
ing or operating the engine. Otherwise, shock
or electrocution could result.
Propeller
Do not hold the propeller with your hands
when loosening or tightening the propeller
nut.
Handling of gasoline
•Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gaso-
line and all flammable products away from
heat, sparks, and open flames.
•Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury
or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never
siphon gasoline by mouth. If you swallow
some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If gasoline
spills on your skin, wash with soap and
water. If gasoline spills on your clothing,
change your clothes.
Ventilation
•Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are
heavier than air and extremely poisonous.
If gasoline vapor or exhaust gas is inhaled
in large quantities, it may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a short time.
•When test running an engine indoors (for
example, in a water tank) make sure to do
so where adequate ventilation can be main-
tained.

Self-protection
•Protect your eyes by wearing safety
glasses or safety goggles during all opera-
tions involving drilling and grinding, or when
using an air compressor.
•Protect your hands and feet by wearing
protective gloves and safety shoes when
necessary.
Working with crane
•Outboard motors weighing 18.0 kg (39.7 lb)
and over must be carried by a crane.
•Use the wire ropes of adequate strength,
and lift up the outboard motor using the
three point suspension.
•If the outboard motor does not have three
or more points to be suspended, support it
using additional ropes or the like so that the
outboard motor can be lifted and carried in
a stable manner.
Handling of gas torch
•Improper handling of a gas torch may result
in burns. For information on the proper han-
dling of the gas torch, see the operation
manual issued by the manufacturer.
•When using a gas torch, keep it away from
the gasoline and oil, to prevent a fire.
•Components become hot enough to cause
burns. Do not touch any hot components
directly.
Part, lubricant, and sealant
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants, or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the out-
board motor.
Handling of sealant
•Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
•See the material safety data sheet issued
by the manufacturer. Some of the sealants
may be harmful to human health.

INFO General information
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to work safely, and to protect parts from dam-
age.
Tightening torque
Follow the tightening torque specifications
provided throughout the manual. When tight-
ening nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the
large sizes first, and tighten fasteners starting
in the center and moving outward.
Non-reusable part
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cot-
ter pins, and so on, when installing or assem-
bling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
•Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt
during disassembly.
•Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of
moving parts before assembly.
•Install bearings so that the bearing identifi-
cation mark is facing in the direction indi-
cated in the installation procedure. In
addition, make sure to lubricate the bear-
ings liberally.
•Apply a thin coat of water resistant grease
to the lip and periphery of an oil seal before
installation.
•Check that moving parts operate normally
after assembly.
