STORAGE
To carry the outboard motor, hold it
by the carrying handle, or hold by the
carrying handle and the lug beneath
the engine cover latch, as shown.
Lifting the outboard motor by the
engine cover, or using the installed
outboard motor as a handle or lever
to move the boat, can damage the
outboard motor.
If your portable fuel tank contains
gasoline, store it away from any
appliance that operates with a flame,
such as a furnace, water heater, or
clothes dryer. Also avoid any area
with a spark-producing electric
motor, or where power tools are
operated.
