WARNING

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When
transporting and storing the outboard
motor, close the air vent screw and fuel
cock to prevent fuel from leaking.
USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum
capacity. Gasoline will expand consid-

pressure in the fuel container. This can
cause fuel leakage and a potential fire
