Do not use the tilt support lever/knob when
trailering the boat. The outboard motor
could shake loose from the tilt support and
fall. If the motor can not be trailered in the
down position, use an additional support
device to secure it in the up position.

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard for
prolonged periods of time (2 months or
longer), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage. This is especially important for
your Autolube equipped outboard due to
the lean oil ratios used at idle prior to
shutting the engine off for the season.
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 you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.

8 Do not use any chemical goods con-
taining Silicon, Phosphorus or Lead.
Otherwise, the oxygen sensor for Elec-
tronic Fuel Injection system could be
damaged. For the detail, consult your
Yamaha dealer to use chemical goods
for storage.
8 Drain the remaining gasoline from the
vapor separator. Gasoline left in the
vapor separator for a prolonged period
of time will break down and possibly
cause damage to the fuel line.
