BEFORE
OPERATION
Check your outboard motor as
described in the
chapter of this manual.
If the cylinders were coated with oil
during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use plastic sheet as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.
Rest the outboard motor on a cushion
of protective material.
If it is necessary to store the outboard
motor horizontally, drain the vapor
separator (p. ), and drain the
engine oil (p. ), before removing
the outboard motor from the boat.
If the outboard motor will be
removed from the boat for storage,
we recommend storing it vertically
by mounting it on a commercially
available stand.
