Lif ting the outboard motor by the
engine cover, or using the installed
outboard motor as a handle or lever
to move the boat, can damage the
outboard motor.
Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
If your fuel tank contains gasoline,
store it away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a
furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
To carry the outboard motor, hold it
by the carrying handle, as shown.
Select a well-ventilated storage area.
If possible, avoid storage areas with
high humidity.
Change the engine oil (p.
).
Remove the spark plug (p. ),
and remove the clip from the
engine stop switch.
Pour a tablespoon (5
10 cm ) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder.
Pull the starter rope several times
to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
Reinstall the spark plug (p.
).
With the engine stopped, turn the
fuel cap vent knob
counterclockwise to open the fuel
vent and remove the fuel filler cap.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw
and move the fuel valve lever to
the ON position to drain the
carburetor and the fuel tank into an
approved gasoline container.
After draining is completed,
tighten the carburetor drain screw
and turn the fuel valve to the OFF
position.
Turn the fuel filler cap vent knob
clockwise to close the fuel vent.
