LONG-TERM STORAGE
(WINTERIZATION)
2) After outboard runs for about 15 seconds,
move throttle grip to IDLE position. Out-
board continues to run at slow idle speed.
WARNING
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL before
performing winterization. Starting out-
board in gear can cause personal
injury.
If winterizing on a trailer, the propeller
must be removed before performing
procedure. Failure to remove propeller
can cause personal injury or death.

After outboard runs for another 15 sec-
advance throttle grip to HALF
onds,
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.
Winterization requires a specific process of
steps.
THROTTLE position. Outboard will accel-
erate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself
OFF automatically (less than one minute).
Winterization is complete when outboard
shuts itself off.
Preparation
• If the outboard DOES NOT shut itself
off, you may not have properly advanced
throttle grip.
Your outboard can be winterized in the water.
If winterizing in water, make sure the water
intake screens are completely submerged.
•
If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the out-
board may have been shifted into gear.
1)
Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add 2+4
Fuel Conditioner following instructions on
container. Fill fuel tank.
In either event, immediately press STOP
button to turn outboard OFF and re-start the
procedure.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, remove the pro-
peller. Attach a garden hose to flushing
port and turn on the water. Refer to Flush-
ing on page 32.
After Winterization
1) After the outboard shuts itself off, remove
emergency stop clip / key switch. Do not
start the outboard again after winterization
is completed.
3)
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL, and shift
linkage must be in NEUTRAL position at all
times during winterization procedure.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water
and detach garden hose. Grease propeller
shaft splines with recommended lubricant,
and re-install propeller.
Tiller Control Outboards
1)
Advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE
position. Start the outboard. Outboard runs
at slow idle speed.
IMPORTANT: When winterizing is finished,
leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead. If
equipped, disconnect the speedometer pick-
up at the upper connection and blow all water
out of the hose using air pressure of 25 psi or
less. Reconnect speedometer pickup after all
the water has been removed.
3)
Top off oil tank.
