out
adequate   ventilation    or   permit
exhaust  fumes  to accumulate  in  con-
fined  areas.  Engine  exhaust  contains
carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can
cause serious brain damage or death.
FLUSHING
If desired,  the outboard can be  flushed after
each use on a trailer or at dockside while it is
vertical.
1) Place  the outboard  in an  area with  good
drainage.
You must protect against natural environmen-
tal conditions that can be damaging to an out-
board. Your warranty  does not cover  engine
failure caused by these conditions.
Temperature  and  humidity  changes  during
storage period can cause corrosion of internal
engine components.
Winterization   prepares   your  outboard   for
long-term off-season  storage. During winter-
ization, the engine is “fogged” and extra oil is
used to coat internal engine components. Re-
fer  to Long-Term  (Winterization)  on  page
35.

run the engine for a good flushing.
Stabilize the fuel supply.  Fuel remaining in
your fuel tank can oxidize, resulting in loss of
octane and fuel system deposits.
Use Evinrude/Johnson 2+4  Fuel Conditioner
to  prevent  gum  and  varnish  deposits  from
forming in fuel  system components. Refer to
Fuel Additives on page 16.
4)
Leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough  to  completely   drain  the  power-
head.
WARNING
IMPORTANT:  If  you  cannot  store the  out-
board in  the recommended  vertical position,
be sure  the cooling  system is  drained com-
pletely. Never place the gearcase higher than
the powerhead.  Any  water remaining  in the
exhaust passages can  run into the  cylinders
and cause serious damage.
Prevent   injury   from   moving   engine
components.  Before  starting  the  out-
board:
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of
powerhead.
Remove the propeller.
SHORT-TERM (BETWEEN USES)
Store  fuel   tanks  in   a  well-ventilated
area, away  from heat  and open  flame.
Prevent   escape  of   liquid  or   vapors
which could  accidentally  ignite. Close
filler cap vent screws (if equipped)  and
be  sure  any disconnected  fuel  hoses
do not drip.
If you must tilt the outboard to remove it from
the water, lower it  and allow the cooling sys-
tem to drain completely as soon as you  clear
the launch area.
Between uses, store your outboard in a verti-
cal position.
