CASE PROTECTOR
Any other horizontal storage position
may cause damage to the outboard
motor or oil leakage.
BEFORE
OPERATION
Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
If it is necessary to store the outboard
horizontally, drain the carburetor (p.
) and drain the engine oil (p.
before removing the outboard motor
from the boat.
Fold the tiller handle, and rest the
outboard motor on its case protectors.
Be sure all water has drained from
the outboard motor before placing it
on its side, so no residual water can
enter the engine exhaust port.
If the cylinders were coated with oil
during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
Check your outboard motor as
described in the
chapter of this manual.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use sheet plastic as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.
