TRAILERING

ENOM00072-A
When transporting a boat on a trailer with
the outboard motor still attached, discon-
nect the fuel line from the outboard motor
beforehand and keep the outboard motor
in the normal running position or on a tran-
som saver bar.

To prevent the outboard motor from mov-
ing when it is attached on a boat during
transport on a trailer, properly tighten the
steering friction lever (See page 61).
ENOW00073-0
WARNING
Please disconnect fuel connector except
when operating engine.
Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard,
which can cause serious injury or death.
ENOW00067-0
WARNING
Do not go under outboard motor tilted up
even if it is supported by support bar, or
accidental fall of outboard motor could
lead to severe personal injury.
ENOW00068-0
WARNING
Close air vent screw of fuel tank and fuel
cock before carrying or storing outboard
motor and fuel tank, or fuel may leak,
potentially catching fire.
ENOW00071-0
The tilt support device supplied on your
outboard motor is not intended for towing.
It is intended to support the outboard
motor while the boat is docked, beached,
etc.
ENOW00072-0
When trailering the outboard motor should
be in a vertical (normal running) position,
fully down. Trailering in the tilted position
may cause damage to the outboard motor,
boat, etc.
If trailering with outboard motor fully down
is not available (the gear case skeg is too
close to the road in a vertical position), fix
the outboard motor securely using a device
(like a transom saver bar) in the tilted posi-
tion.
