2004 Johnson 6 hp R4 RL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

STORING
Raise the tiller handle and rest it on a padded sur-
face on its port side. Protect the engine cover from
damage.
To  avoid  difficulty  when  restarting, never  run the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
If you must tilt the motor to remove it from the water,
lower it and allow the cooling system to drain com-
pletely as soon as you clear the launch area.
Between uses, store your motor in a vertical posi-
tion.
For recommendations on extended periods of stor-
age, refer to Off-Season Storage.
CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
If you will be laying the engine down, minimize the
potential for fuel spillage by letting it run “out of gas”
before you remove it from the boat. Disconnect the
fuel hose at the engine while it is still running. Let it
run until it quits.
After removing the engine from the boat, position it
upright until the cooling system stops draining.
Keep the powerhead higher than the gearcase at all
times, or any water remaining in exhaust passages
could  travel  to  the  cylinders  and  cause  serious
damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not let gearcase of the outboard
sit higher than the powerhead during transporting
or  storing.  Water  may  drain  into  the  powerhead,
causing damage to  the engine. Laying  the engine
on its back, or going from its back to its port side,
could allow oil leakage.
IMPORTANT: 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.
