MAINTENANCE
TRANSPORTING THE
OUTBOARD
!
DANGER
Never get under the lowered
outboard while it’s tilted, even
if a support bar is used. Severe
injury could occur if the outboard
accidently falls down.
When transporting the the boat
on a trailer, the outboard should
be positioned in normal running
position. If the road clearance is
insufficient in this position, the
outboard may be transported in tilt
position using a support device such
as a transom saver bar. Consult your
dealer for further details.
Additional clearance may be
required for railroad crossings,
driveways and trailer bouncing.
Refer to your local dealer for
recommendations.
!
CAUTION
Do not rely on the power trim/tilt
system to maintain proper ground
clearance for transportation with a
trailer. The power trim/tilt system
is not intended to support the
outboard under these conditions.
OUTBOARD CARE
It is important that your outboard
receive the periodic inspections
and maintenance listed in the
Maintenance Schedule
, in order to
keep the outboard in best condition.
NOTE!
If periodic inspections and
maintenance are not followed as
described, the manufacturer’s
warranty coverage will not apply
.

routine engine maintenance
performed to maintain emission
levels within prescribed standards.
The owner is not to modify the
