is tilted, even if a motor support bar is
used. Severe injury could occur if the
outboard accidentally falls.

warms up and can build up pressure in
the fuel container. This can cause fuel
leakage and a potential fire hazard.

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

When storing your outboard motor for
prolonged periods of time ( 2 months or
longer ), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage.
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 the
owner with a minimum of tools.
1) Using fresh water, flush the cooling-
water passages (Refer to "Flushing
cooling system") and wash the motor
body. (Refer to "MOTOR EXTERIOR").
2) Remove the fuel-line connections
from the motor.
3) Run the engine at idling speed until
the carburetor is empty.
4) Completely drain the water out of the
outboard
clean the body.
5) Remove the spark-plug, pour a tea-
spoonful of clean engine oil into the
cylinder, and replace the spark-plug.
