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.
USE CARE when transporting fuel tank,
whether in a boat or car.

ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.
CAUTION:
Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard mo-
tor could shake loose from the tilt support
and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in
the normal running position, use an addi-
tional support device to secure it in the tilt
position.
NOTE:
The last time you use your Yamaha outboard
motor before storing it for a prolonged period,
add one ounce of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner
and Stabilizer to each gallon of fuel in the fuel
tank.
The outboard motor should be trailered and
stored in the normal running position. If there
is insufficient road clearance in this position,
then trailer the outboard motor in the tilt posi-
tion using a motor support device such as a
transom saver bar. Consult your Yamaha
dealer for further details.
