LONG-TERM STORAGE
(WINTERIZATION)
2) After outboard runs for about 15 seconds, move throttle
grip to IDLE position. Outboard continues to run at slow
idle speed.
WARNING
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL before performing
winterization. Starting outboard 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.
3)
4)
After outboard runs for another 15 seconds, advance
throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position. Outboard will
accelerate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-sea-
son storage. During winterization, the engine is “fogged”
and extra oil is used to coat internal engine components.
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself OFF automati-
cally (less than one minute).
Winterization requires a specific process of steps.
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 winteriz- • If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the outboard may

If using gasoline, stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add
2+4 Fuel Conditioner following instructions on contain-
er. Fill fuel tank.
After Winterization
If winterizing on a trailer, remove the propeller. Attach
a garden hose to flushing port and turn on the water.
Refer to FLUSHING on page 32.
1)
After the outboard shuts itself off, remove emergency
stop clip / key switch. Do not start the outboard again
after winterization is completed.
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL, and shift linkage must
be in NEUTRAL position at all times during winteriza-
tion procedure.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water and detach
garden hose. Grease propeller shaft splines with rec-
ommended lubricant, and re-install propeller.
Winterizing Procedure
IMPORTANT: When winterizing is finished, leave the out-
board in vertical position long enough to completely drain
the powerhead.
1)
Advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position.
Start the outboard. Outboard runs at slow idle speed.
3)
Top off oil tank.
