Do not use the tilt support lever/knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your outboard motor for
prolonged periods of time ( 2 months or
longer ), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
000898
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by the
owner with a minimum of tools.
cC
8 To prevent problems which can be
caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the engine in the verti-
cal position when transporting and
storing it.
If storing or transporting the outboard
motor in a horizontal position, put it on
a cushion after draining the engine oil.
8 Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
8 Store the engine in a dry, well-ventilat-
ed place, not in direct sunlight.
