TRANSPORTING AND
STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
w
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.
TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR
The motor should be trailered and stored
in the normal running position. If there is
insufficient road clearance in this position,
then trailer the motor in the tilt position
using a motor support device such as a
transom saver bar.
cC
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.
w
8 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.
8 USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
capacity.
Gasoline will expand considerably as it
warms up and can build up pressure in
the fuel container. This can cause fuel
leakage and a potential fire hazard.
