STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Select a well-ventilated storage area.
If possible, avoid storage areas with
high humidity.
To carry the outboard motor, hold it
by the carrying handle, as shown.
Lifting the outboard motor by the
engine cover, or using the installed
outboard motor as a handle or lever
to move the boat, can damage the
outboard motor.
If your fuel tank contains gasoline,
store it away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a
furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
