Storage Precautions

Select a well-ventilated

storage area. If possible, avoid storage areas with high

humidity.

If your portable 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.

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.
