STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your outboard motor for pro-
longed periods of time (2 months or longer),
several important procedures must be per-
formed to prevent expensive damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior
to storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by the owner with a
minimum of tools.
CAUTION:
@
To prevent problems which can be
caused by oil entering the cylinder
from the sump, keep the engine in the
vertical position when transporting
and storing it.
Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
Store the engine in a dry, well-venti-
lated place, not in direct sunlight.
Drain the remaining gasoline from the
vapor separator. Gasoline left in the
vapor separator 1 for a prolonged
period of time will break down and
possibly cause damage to the fuel line.
