Transporting and storing
outboard motor
EWM02621
WARNING
USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,

whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum

capacity. Gasoline will expand consid-
erably as it warms up and can build up
pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
hazard.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When

transporting and storing the outboard
motor, disconnect the fuel line from the
outboard motor to prevent fuel from
leaking.
Never get under the outboard motor

while it is tilted. Severe injury could oc-
cur if the outboard motor accidentally
falls.
Do not use the tilt support lever or knob

when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the outboard motor
cannot be trailered in the normal run-
ning position, use an additional sup-
port device to secure it in the tilt
position.
When storing or transporting the outboard
motor, make sure to follow the procedure list-
ed below.
Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel joint

on the outboard motor.
Tighten the fuel tank cap and its air vent

screw.
Store the fuel tank in a well-ventilated

place.
Store the fuel tank in a place that is stable

and not exposed to shocks.
When the outboard motor is tilted for a pro-
longed time for mooring or trailering the boat,
make sure to follow the procedure listed be-
low.
Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel joint

on the outboard motor.
Tighten the fuel tank cap and its air vent

screw.
The outboard motor should be transported
and stored in the normal running position. If
there is insufficient road clearance in this po-
sition, then trailer the outboard motor in the
tilt position using a motor support device
such as a transom saver bar. Consult your
Yamaha dealer for further details.
