Maintenance
Transporting and storing outboard motor.
A WARNI NG
•
USE CARE when transporting a fuel
container, whether in a boat or car.
•
DO NOT exceed the specified capacity of
a fuel container. Gasoline will expand
considerably as it warms up and can build
up pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire hazard.
•
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
porting and storing the outboard motor, close
the fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking.
A WARNI NG
Never get under the engine while it is tilted.
Severe injury could occur if the outboard
motor accidentally falls.
NOTICE
Do not use the tilt support bar when trailering
the boat. The outboard motor could shake
loose from the tilt support and fall.
The outboard motor should be trailered and
stored in the fully tilted down position.
