TRANSPORTING THE OUTBOARD

A WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-dis-
connect fuel hose, you MUST disconnect
the fuel hose from the engine and the
fuel tank to prevent fuel leaks:
• Whenever the engine is NOT being
used
• Whenever the engine is being trailered
• Whenever the engine is in storage
NOTE: A small amount of fuel may be
released when the fuel connector is dis-
connected.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-venti-
lated areas, away from heat sources and
open flames. Close the vent screw of the
fuel tank cap, if equipped, to prevent
escape of fuel or fuel vapors which could
accidentally ignite. Do not allow discon-
nected fuel hoses to leak fuel.
