Owner's Manual DF300 Trailering
Use a proper, safe container to store any gasoline drained from the outboard motor.
(4)After draining, retighten the screws 1 and 2.
- Rest the motor on a case protector with the port side downwards as shown.
Do not rest the engine before the engine oil has drained, as oil may enter the cylinder from the sump or outer casings may be damaged. (cid:127) Do not rest the engine before the cooling water has drained 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 dam- age to the engine.
TRAILERING
When trailering your boat with the motor attached, keep the motor in the normal operating position unless there is not enough ground clearance. If you need more ground clearance, trailer the motor in a tilted position using a transom saver bar or similar device to support the weight of the motor.
When trailering the boat and the motor, do not use the tilt up lock arm to hold the motor in the fully tilted position. Towing motion or poor road surfaces may cause unexpected tilt lock release, resulting in damage to the motor and the tilt lock mechanism.
