Anti-Fouling Paint; Outboard Motor Disposal Requirements; Emergency Equipment; Emission Control Information - Yamaha LF225 Owner's Manual

Specifications and requirements
used in automobiles, resulting in stale and
unusable gasoline that may cause starting
and running problems, fuel system damage,
and internal engine damage.
Yamaha recommends the use of two Yama-
lube gasoline additives to reduce internal de-
posits and extend the storage life of
gasoline. Continuous use of Yamalube Ring
Free Fuel Additive Plus reduces harmful in-
ternal deposits. Yamalube Fuel Stabilizer &
Conditioner Plus added to fresh gasoline will
help protect the fuel system from varnishing
while helping to keep the gasoline's octane
level from decreasing excessively during
storage. Other additives may also be avail-
able on the market that may have varying de-
grees of effectiveness. Consult your Yamaha
dealer concerning what may work best for
the locally available gasoline and environ-
mental conditions.

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull is required to maintain your
boat's performance. Boats moored in the wa-
ter should be protected from marine growth
(barnacles, mussels, and marine plants). If
approved by regulations for your area, the
bottom of the hull can be coated with an anti-
fouling paint to inhibit marine growth.
Anti-fouling paints specifically formulated for
use on aluminum may be applied to the out-
board motor. The original Yamaha paint sur-
face may be scuffed lightly before applying
anti-fouling paint, but do not remove the orig-
inal paint. Removal of the original paint will
increase the rate of corrosion.

NOTICE
Anti-fouling paint for fiberglass and wood
may contain materials, such as copper,
graphite, and tin, that can cause corro-
25
sion if applied to aluminum boats and
outboard motor components. Never ap-
ply these types of paint to your outboard
motor because rapid corrosion damage
could occur.
Sacrificial anodes are attached to the out-
board motor to provide corrosion protection
and must never be painted.
Sacrificial anodes made from a different ma-
terial may be necessary for maximum corro-
sion protection due to your local water
conditions. Please consult your Yamaha
dealer.
ECM02421
NOTICE
Painted sacrificial anodes will not provide
corrosion protection.

Outboard motor disposal
requirements
Never illegally discard (dump) the outboard
motor. Yamaha recommends consulting the
dealer about discarding the outboard motor.
