Safety while working 1
To prevent an accident or injury and to
ensure quality service, follow the safety pro-
cedures provided below.
Fire prevention
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Keep gasoline and all flammable products
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Ventilation
Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If inhaled
in large quantities they may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short time.
When test running an engine indoors (e.g., in
a water tank) be sure to do so where ade-
quate ventilation can be maintained.
Self-protection
Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses
or safety goggles during all operations involv-
ing drilling and grinding, or when using an air
compressor.
Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when neces-
sary.
Parts, lubricants, and sealants
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the
outboard motor.
Under normal conditions, the lubricants men-
tioned in this manual should not harm or be
hazardous to your skin. However, you should
follow these precautions to minimize any risk
when working with lubricants.
1. Maintain good standards of personal and
industrial hygiene.
2. Change and wash clothing as soon as
possible if soiled with lubricants.
3. Avoid contact with skin. Do not, for
example, place a soiled rag in your
pocket.
4. Wash hands and any other part of the
body thoroughly with soap and hot water
after contact with a lubricant or lubricant
soiled clothing has been made.
5. To protect your skin, apply a protective
cream to your hands before working on
the outboard motor.

6. Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for
wiping up spills, etc.
Good working practices
Special tools
Use the recommended special tools to pro-
tect parts from damage. Use the right tool in
the right manner—do not improvise.
Tightening torques
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 parts
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cot-
ter pins, circlips, etc., when installing or
assembling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
1. Use compressed air to remove dust and
dirt during disassembly.
2. Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces
of moving parts before assembly.
3. Install bearings with the manufacture
identification mark in the direction indi-
cated in the installation procedure. In
addition, be sure to lubricate the bearings
liberally.
4. Apply a thin coat of water-resistant
grease to the lip and periphery of an oil
seal before installation.
5. Check that moving parts operate nor-
mally after assembly.
