7. Lubricate all other specified parts. Refer to
the LUBRICATION section. Spray entire
powerhead with a rust preventative (not a
penetrating oil product).
8. Apply a coat of automotive wax on the
external finish of the motor. If paint damage
is evident, apply touch up paint before wax-
ing.
9. Store the motor in an upright position in a
dry, well-ventilated area. Select an area
with constant temperature to avoid corro-
sion caused by condensation. Do not store
next to furnaces, heaters, etc.
WARNING
When the engine is running, keep your
hands, hair, clothing, etc., away from the
engine.
CAUTION
Never start the motor without supplying
water to the cooling system as water
pump damage could result in as little as
15 seconds. Severe engine damage could
result from no water supply.
BATTERY STORAGE
1. When the outboard motor will not be used
for a month or longer, remove the battery
and store it in a cool, dark place. Do not set
battery on concrete or earth, as this will
accelerate loss of charge.
2. Wash the casing and terminals using fresh
water only, then dry with clean cloth.
3. Fully charge the battery. If the battery will be
stored for a long period of time, check the
specific gravity of the fluid at least once a
month and recharge the battery when the
charge is low.
WARNING
• Explosive vapors are produced by bat-
teries. Do not smoke, and keep battery
away from open flames and sparks.
To avoid creating a spark when charg-
ing the battery, connect the battery
charger cables to the proper terminals
before turning the battery charger on.
• Handle the battery with extreme care;
avoid skin contact with electrolyte.
Wear proper protective clothing (Safety
glasses, gloves, etc.)
