DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or
without adequate ventilation or per-
mit exhaust fumes to accumulate in
confined areas. Engine exhaust con-
tains 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 outboard. Refer to Prim-
ing the Oil System on page 17.
FLUSHING
Flush the outboard with fresh water following
use in brackish, salt or polluted water to
minimize the accumulation of scale and silt
deposits in cooling system passages. The
outboard can be flushed on the trailer or at
dockside. Place outboard in vertical (down)
position in a well ventilated area.
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 Storage (Winterization)
on page 41.
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.
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 18.
WARNING
Prevent injury from moving engine
components. Before starting the
outboard:
4)
Leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the power-
head.
•
•
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear
of powerhead.
NOTICE
If you cannot store the out-
board in the recommended vertical posi-
tion, be sure the cooling system is
drained completely. Never place the gear-
case higher than the powerhead. Any
water remaining in the exhaust passages
can run into the cylinders and cause seri-
ous damage.
•
Remove the propeller.
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.
