TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR
The motor should be trailered and
stored in the normal running position. If
there is insufficient road clearance in
this position, then trailer the motor in
the tilt position using a motor support
device such as a transom saver bar.
cC
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.
w
8 Never get under the lower unit while
it is tilted, even if a motor support bar
is used. Severe injury could occur if
the outboard accidentally falls.
8 USE CARE when transporting fuel
tank, whether in a boat or car.
DO NOT fill fuel container to maxi-
mum capacity.
Gasoline will expand considerably as
it warms up and can build up pressure
in the fuel container. This can cause
fuel leakage and a potential fire haz-
ard.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When trans-
porting and storing the outboard motor,
close the air vent screw and fuel cock to
prevent fuel from leaking.
