Transporting and storing out-
board motor
EWM02620
WARNING
USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
●
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
●
capacity. Gasoline will expand consider-
ably as it warms up and can build up
pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
hazard.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
●
porting and storing the outboard motor,
disconnect the fuel line from the out-
board motor to prevent fuel from leak-
ing.
Never get under the outboard motor
●
while it is tilted. Severe injury could oc-
cur if the outboard motor accidentally
falls.
Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
●
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the outboard motor
cannot be trailered in the normal run-
ning position, use an additional support
device to secure it in the tilt position.
When storing or transporting the outboard
motor, make sure to follow the procedure list-
ed below.
Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel joint
●
on the outboard motor and install the fuel
joint cap.
Tighten the built-in fuel tank cap until a click
●
is heard.
Close the air vent valve and fuel cock.
●
Tighten the portable fuel tank cap and its air
●
vent screw.
70
Store the portable fuel tank in a well-venti-
●
lated place.
Store the portable fuel tank in a place that is
●
stable and not exposed to shocks.
When the outboard motor is tilted for a pro-
longed time while the boat is moored or trail-
ered, make sure to follow the procedure listed
below.
Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel joint
●
on the outboard motor and install the fuel
joint cap.
Tighten the built-in fuel tank cap until a click
●
is heard.
Close the air vent valve and fuel cock.
●
Tighten the portable fuel tank cap and its air
●
vent screw.
The outboard motor should be transported
and stored in the normal running position. If
there is insufficient road clearance in this po-
sition, then trailer the outboard motor in the
tilted position using a motor support device
such as a transom saver bar. Consult your
Yamaha dealer for further details.
