13. STORAGE
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
NOTE:
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 (clog
the fuel system, cause sticking
valves). Such damage caused by
spoiled fuel is not covered 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.
Storage Procedure
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.
