CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
FLUSHING
Before you shut the engine off for the last time dur-
ing your outing, close the fuel shut-off valve and the
fuel tank vent screw. Run the engine until it quits.
Doing so will minimize the potential for fuel leakage
when you lay the engine down. Refer to Fuel Shut-
off Valve.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
After removing the engine from the boat, hold it up-
right until the cooling system stops draining before
you lay it down for carrying.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the engine is horizontal,
keep its powerhead higher than the gearcase. Oth-
erwise, any water remaining in the exhaust passag-
es could run into the block and cause serious
damage.
WARNING
A convenient handle is provided for carrying.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller by removing the propeller before
flushing.
Flush your engine for at least five minutes with fresh
water as soon as possible after each use in salty,
polluted or brackish water to minimize the formation
of deposits that can clog cooling passages.
Run the engine in a large container of water, such
as a 30-gallon garbage can. If needed, insert a
board between the rim of the can and the engine’s
clamp screws for thickness. Be sure water covers
the engine’s water intakes.
When transporting, rest the engine on the side that
has the fuel shut-off valve knob.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Refer to Tilt-
ing.
