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 insuf-
ficient 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
001185
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.
8 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.
cC
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.
