REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
STORAGE
CASE PROTECTORS
BEFORE
OPERATION
Any other horizontal storage position
may cause damage to the outboard
motor or oil leakage.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use plastic sheet as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.
Check your outboard motor as
described in the
chapter of this manual.
If storing horizontally, be sure to 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.
Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
If the cylinder was coated with oil
during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
