For longer service life of the outboard
motor, have your outboard motor
serviced by an authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer before storage.
However, the following procedures
can be performed by you, the owner,
with a minimum of tools.
Fuel
Gasoline spoils very quickly
depending on factors such as light
exposure, temperature and time. In
worst cases, gasoline can be
contaminated within 30 days.
Using contaminated gasoline can
seriously damage the engine (fuel
system clogged, valve stuck). Such
damage due to spoiled fuel is
disallowed from coverage by the
warranty.
To avoid this please strictly follow
these recommendations:
• Only use specified gasoline (see
page 63).
• Use fresh and clean gasoline.
• To slow deterioration, keep
gasoline in a certified fuel
container.
• If long storage (more than 30 days)
is foreseen, drain fuel tank and
vapor separator.
13. STORAGE
Vapor Separator Draining
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable,
and gasoline vapor can explode,
causing serious injury or death.
Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
• Be careful not to spill fuel.
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure the area is dry
before storing or transporting
the outboard motor.
• Do not smoke or allow flames
or sparks where fuel is drained
or stored.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
