Transporting and storing out-
board motor
EWM00695
WARNING
USE CARE when transporting a fuel
G
container, whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT exceed the specified capacity
G
of a fuel container. Gasoline will expand
considerably as it warms up and can
build up pressure in the fuel container.
This can cause fuel leakage and a poten-
tial fire hazard.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
G
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the fuel cock to prevent fuel from
leaking.

ed. Severe injury could occur if the out-
board motor accidentally falls.

ring the boat. The outboard motor could
