WARNING
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
G
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the air vent screw and fuel cock to
prevent fuel from leaking.
USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
G
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
G
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.

WARNING
Never get under the lower unit while it is
tilted, even if a motor support bar is used.
Severe injury could occur if the outboard
motor accidentally falls.

CAUTION:
Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard mo-
tor could shake loose from the tilt support
and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in
the normal running position, use an addi-
tional support device to secure it in the tilt
position.
The outboard motor should be trailered and
stored in the normal running position. If there
is insufficient road clearance in this position,
then trailer the outboard motor in the tilt posi-
tion using a motor support device such as a
transom saver bar. Consult your Yamaha
dealer for further details.

Storing outboard motor

When storing your Yamaha outboard motor
for prolonged periods of time (2 months or
longer), several important procedures must
be performed to prevent excessive damage. It
is advisable to have your outboard motor ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to
storage. However, you, the owner, with a min-
imum of tools, can perform the following pro-
cedures.

CAUTION:
To prevent problems which can be
G
caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the outboard motor in
the attitude shown when transporting
and storing it. Do not store or transport
the outboard motor on its side (not up-
right).
Do not place the outboard motor on its
G
side before the cooling water has
drained from it completely, otherwise
water may enter the cylinder through the
exhaust port and cause engine trouble.
