Motor Transporting - Suzuki DF4A Owner's Manual

MOTOR TRANSPORTING

When transporting the motor, place the motor
either vertically or horizontally.
Vertical transport:
Incline the handle backward, and attach the
motor to the carrier by securing the clamp
bracket with two clamp screws.
Never use display stand for transportation of the
motor.
Horizontal transport:
Incline the tiller handle backward and rest the
motor on a case protector with the port side,
starboard side or front side downwards as
shown.
 WARNING
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor can cause a fire
and is hazardous to health.
Always take the following precautions:
• Drain the fuel from the fuel line and car-
buretor before transporting the boat/
outboard motor and before removing
the motor from the boat.
• DO NOT lay motor on its side without
draining fuel.
• Keep the motor away from open flames
or sparks.
• Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE
If you do not take proper precautions
when transporting your outboard, it can
be damaged.
• Do not rest the engine in any of the
positions shown below, as water and
oil may enter the cylinder through the
exhaust port or the outer casings may
be damaged.
• Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, as water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
