WARNING
~
To
prevent injury from contact with rotat-
ing
propeller, remove the propeller before
flushing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT start outboard without a
water
supply to the outboard's cooling system.
Cooling system and/or powerhead damage could
occur.
Fuel System Treatment
Stabilize the boat's fuel supply with
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner following
the instructions
on
the container.
Prepare a "storage mixture" of fuel
in
a separate
outboard six
gallon fuel tank. The storage mixture
should consist of:
• 5 gallons (18.9 liter) of fuel;
•
2 quarts (1.9 liter) of Evinrude/Johnson Storage
Fogging
Oil;
• 2.5 ounces (74 ml) of Evinrude/Johnson 2+4
Fuel Conditioner,
and
• 1 pint (473
ml)
of Evinrude/Johnson outboard
lubricant.
Temporarily
connect fuel tank with storage mixture
to the outboard.
Shift the remote control to NEUTRAL and remove
the
propeller.
START
outboard and
RUN
at IDLE speed for five
minutes to ensure that the entire
fuel system
is
filled with the storage mixture.
STOP outboard. Turn key switch to OFF position
on remote
electric start models. Proceed with
Internal Engine Treatment.
Internal Engine Treatment
Use Evinrude/Johnson Storage Fogging Oil to
prevent corrosion of
internal engine components
during periods of storage.
Remove
all spark plugs and spray a liberal
amount Evinrude/Johnson Storage Fogging Oil
into the spark plug holes.
MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
Turn the flywheel
in
a clockwise direction to dis-
tribute the fogging
oil throughout the cylinders.
Install
and torque the spark plugs.
If
outboard is equipped with a portable fuel tank,
disconnect
fuel hose from outboard and tank.
IMPORTANT:
DO
NOT restart outboard until
it
goes back into service. 3
If the outboard is removed from boat, examine all
loosened
and removed hardware. Replace dam-
aged or missing parts with genuine
Evinrude/Johnson parts or equivalent.
Additional Recommendations
• Replace gearcase lubricant.
•
Remove and inspect propeller.
• Clean
and grease propeller shaft.
• Lubricate all grease fittings and linkages.
• Clean
or replace fuel filter element.
• Inspect
outboard, steering system, and con-
trols. Replace all damaged and worn compo-
nents. Refer to manufacturer's maintenance
and
lubrication recommendations).
• Touch up painted surfaces as needed. Coat
outer painted surfaces with automotive wax.
• Remove baUery(s) from boat. Store
in
a cool,
dry location. Periodically charge battery(s) while
stored. (Refer to manufacturer's maintenance
recommendations when servicing batteries.)
• Store outboard
in
upright (vertical) position.
• Check for fuel leakage.
~
WARNING m
Failure to check for fuel leakage could
allow
a leak to go undetected, resulting
in
fire or explosion.
