2006 Johnson 30 hp PL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
Drain the crankcase oil from the engine. Refer to
Crankcase Oil.
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.
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.
With the motor tilted up, loosen the carburetor drain
screws and drain the gasoline into a suitable con-
tainer.  After  draining,  retighten  the  drain  screws
and tilt down the motor.
IMPORTANT: Do not rest the engine before the en-
gine oil has  drained, as oil may enter the cylinder
from the sump or outer casings may be damaged.
WARNING
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.
Raise the tiller handle and rest it on a padded sur-
face on its port side. Protect the engine cover from
damage.
Use  a  proper,  safe  container  to  store  any
gasoline drained from the outboard motor.

IMPORTANT: Do not let the gearcase of the out-
board sit higher than the powerhead during trans-
porting   or  storing.   Water   may   drain   into   the
powerhead, causing damage to the engine.
