ple and pets.
Use a proper, safe container to store any gas-
oline drained from the outboard motor. Keep

and pets.
WARNING
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor can cause a fire and
is hazardous to health.
Always take the following precautions:
• Drain the fuel from the fuel line and fuel
vapor separator before transporting the
boat/outboard motor and before removing
the motor from the boat.
• DO NOT lay motor on its side without drain-
ing fuel.

NOTICE
If you are not careful when resting the out-

occur. Engine oil may enter the cylinder from
the sump, water may enter the cylinder
through the exhaust port, or the outer casings
may be damaged.
Always drain the engine oil and cooling water
completely before laying the motor on its side,
and be careful laying the motor down.
NOTICE
If you let the lower unit of your outboard sit
higher than the power head during transport-
ing or storing, water may trickle into the
power head, causing damage to the engine.
Never let the lower unit sit higher than the
power head when transporting or storing your
outboard.
