Before storing the outboard motor for
a prolonged period, we recommend
that you remove the fuel line connector
and operate the engine at 2,000 to
3,000 min
-1
(rpm) until it stops.
Outboard Motor Storage
1. Tilt the outboard motor, remove the
engine cover and plug cap, pull the
starter grip several times and
completely drain off the cooling
water.
• If the outboard motor is put on
its side without completely
draining off the cooling water
immediately after stopping it,
water may enter the engine from
the exhaust port. Be sure,
therefore, to drain off the cooling
water before putting the
outboard motor on its side.
• When pulling the starter grip, be
careful not to touch the spark
plug wire.
