TRANSPORTING AND

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the air vent screw and fuel cock to
prevent fuel from leaking.

TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR

The motor should be trailered and stored
in the normal running position. If there is
insufficient road clearance in this position,
then trailer the motor in the tilt position
using a motor support device such as a
transom saver bar.
For further details, consult your Yamaha
dealer.
w
8 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 accidentally falls.
8 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.
