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
damage. This is especially important for
your Precision Blend equipped outboard
due to the lean oil ratios used at idle prior
to shutting the engine off for the season.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.
cC
Do not use any chemical goods contain-
ing Silicon, Phosphorus or Lead.
Otherwise, the oxygen sensor for
Electronic Fuel Injection system could be
damaged. For the detail, consult your
Yamaha dealer to use chemical goods for
storage.

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.
