Storage Precautions - Honda BF2A Owner's Manual

HELPFULTIPS & SUGGESTIONS
Storage Precautions
Select a well-ventilated storage area. If possible, avoid storage areas with high
humidity.
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.
Store the outboard motor either vertically, or horizontally with the tiller handle
side down, as shown.
If storing horizontally, be sure to fold the tiller handle, so the outboard motor
rests on it's 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.
Any other storage position may cause damage or oil
leakage.
CASE ~RoTEOT~R
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.
