MOTOR REMOVAL AND TRANSPORTING
MOTOR REMOVAL
Make sure that the engine has stopped completely.
Turn the fuel cock lever to the right.
Tighten the built-in fuel tank cap and its airvent screw.
Drain the gasoline from the carburetor as follows:
(1)Remove the motor cover.
(2)Loosen the carburetor drain screw A and drain the gasoline into a suitable container.
Use a proper, safe container to store any gasoline drained from the outboard motor.
(3)After draining, retighten the drain screw.
Loosen the clamp screws.
Lift the motor off the transom.
Stand the motor vertically and drain the water from the lower unit.
To carry, hold the motor by gripping the lower cover handle.
MOTOR TRANSPORTING
When transporting the motor, place the motor in either a vertical or horizontal position.
Vertical transport:
Raise the tiller handle and attach the clamp bracket to a stand by securing the two clamp screws.
Horizontal transport:
Raise the tiller handle and rest the motor on a case protector with the port side downwards as shown.
• Do not rest the engine in any of the positions shown below, as oil may enter the cylinder from the sump or the outer casings may be damaged.
• Do not place the engine on its side before the cooling water has drained from it completely, as water may enter the cylinder through the exhaust port and cause problems.
Do not let the lower unit of the outboard sit higher than the power head during transporting or storing, or water may trickle into the power head, causing damage to the engine.
