STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

When storing your Yamaha outboard for
prolonged periods of time, (2 months or
longer), several important procedures must
be performed to prevent expensive dam-
age.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior
to storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by you, the owner,
with a minimum of tools.
cC
8 To prevent problems which can be
caused by oil entering the cylinder
from the sump, keep the engine in the
attitude shown when transporting and
storing it.
8 Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
8 Store the engine in a dry, well-ventilat-
ed place, not in direct sunlight.

Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add one
ounce of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer" (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-00) to
each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer" eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or

other qualified mechanic if the fuel system
is to be drained instead.
