4.2 Storing
When storing your PARSUN outboard motor for prolonged periods of time (2 months or longer), several
important procedures must be performed to prevent excessive damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard motor serviced by an authorized PARSUN dealer prior to storage. However,
you, the owner, with a minimum of tools, can perform the following procedures.
CAUTION:
Do not place the outboard motor on its side before the cooling water has drained from it completely.
Store the outboard motor in a dry, well-ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.
1. Wash the outboard motor body using fresh water.
2. Disconnect the fuel line and tighten the air vent screw.
3. R
emove the engine top cowling and silencer cover.
4. Install the outboard motor on the test tank.
5. Fill the tank with fresh water to above the level of the anti-cavitation plate.
CAUTION:
If the fresh water level is below the level of the anti-cavitation plate, or if the water supply is insufficient,
engine seizure may occur.
1. Start the engine. Flush the cooling system. Perform the flushing and fogging at the same time, as
fogging/lubricating of the engine is mandatory to prevent engine rust.
