Storage Precautions - Honda Automobiles BF2D Owner's Manual

HELPFUL TIPS tk SUJGGESTIONS
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 as shown below.
If storing horizontally, be sure to fold the tiller handle, so the outboard motor
rests on its case protectors.
Any other storage position may cause damage or oil leakage.

CASE PROTECTOR
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.
