MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
TRANSPORTING THE OUTBOARD
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate
ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accumulate
in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
If the outboard is laid down for transportation or storage,
the oiling system must be primed before reusing the out-
board. Refer to Priming the Oil System on page 17.
You must protect against natural environmental conditions
that can be damaging to an outboard. Your warranty does
not cover engine failure caused by these conditions.
FLUSHING
If desired, the outboard can be flushed after each use on a
trailer or at dockside while it is vertical.
NOTICE
Temperature and humidity changes
during storage period can cause corrosion of internal
engine components.
1) Place the outboard in an area with good drainage.
2)
3)
Connect garden hose to flushing port.
Turn on the water. It is not necessary to run the engine
for a good flushing.
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.
Refer to LONG-TERM STORAGE (WINTERIZATION) on
page 35.
Stabilize the fuel supply. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank
can oxidize, resulting in loss of octane and fuel system de-
posits.
Use Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent
gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system com-
ponents. Refer to OPERATION on page 19.
WARNING
Prevent injury from moving engine components.
Before starting the outboard:
4)
Leave the outboard in vertical position long enough to
completely drain the powerhead.
•
•
•
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of powerhead.
Remove the propeller.
NOTICE
If you cannot store the outboard in the
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 dis-
connected fuel hoses do not drip.
recommended vertical position, be sure the cooling
system is drained completely. Never place the
gearcase higher than the powerhead. Any water
remaining in the exhaust passages can run into the
cylinders and cause serious damage.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
Between uses, store your outboard in a vertical position to
allow the cooling system to drain completely.
