Transporting and storing out-
board motor
EWM02621
 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
pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
hazard.
 Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When
transporting and storing the outboard
motor, disconnect the fuel line from the
outboard motor to prevent fuel from
leaking.
 Never get under the outboard motor
while it is tilted. Severe injury could oc-
cur if the outboard motor accidentally
falls.
 Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the outboard motor
cannot be trailered in the normal run-
ning position, use an additional support
device to secure it in the tilt position.
ECM02441
When storing the outboard motor for pro-
longed time, fuel must be drained from the
fuel tank. The deteriorated fuel could clog
the fuel line causing engine start difficulty
or malfunction.
When storing or transporting the outboard
motor or when the outboard motor is tilted for
a prolonged time for mooring or trailering the
41
boat, make sure to close the fuel cock, and
then tighten the fuel tank cap and its air vent
screw.
The outboard motor should be transported
and stored in the normal running position. If
there is insufficient road clearance in this po-
sition, then trailer the outboard motor in the
tilt position using a motor support device
such as a transom saver bar. Consult your
Yamaha dealer for further details.
