TRANSPORTING
60
IMPORTANT: Beware of explosion danger. Spilled and vapored
gasoline may easily catch fire and explode. Be sure to fully
discharge gasoline from the carburetors when transporting the
engine. Wipe off spilled gasoline with a rag.
When carrying or putting the engine up for storage, make sure the
side with the electric pump or the power trim and tilt is down,
otherwise air will enter the pump system for the power trim and tilt
operation.
Trailering Boat/Outboard
The boat should be trailered with the outboard in the vertical
(normal running), fully down position.
NOTE: Trailering in the tilted position may cause damage to the
motor, boat, etc. If trailering with the engine fully down is not
acceptable (the gearcase skeg is too close to the road in a vertical
position), fix the motor securely using a device (like a transom
saver bar) in the tilted position.
