TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR
The motor should be trailered and stored in
the normal running position. If there is insuffi-
cient road clearance in this position, then trail-
er the motor in the tilt position using a motor
support device such as a transom saver bar.
For further details, consult your Yamaha
dealer.

Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even if a motor support bar is
used. Severe injury could occur if the
outboard accidentally falls.

USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
capacity. Gasoline will expand consider-
ably as it warms up and can build up pres-
sure in the fuel container. This can cause
fuel leakage and a potential fire hazard.
c C
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob when
trailering the boat. The outboard motor
could shake loose from the tilt support and
fall. If the motor can not be trailered in the
down position, use an additional support
device to secure it in the up position.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the air vent screw and fuel cock to
prevent fuel from leaking.
