Procedure

Trailering the Outboard Motor

1. Do NOT trail the outboard motor in the tilted position; this may cause damage to the outboard motor, boat, etc. WARNING: Trailering in the tilted position may cause damage to the outboard motor, boat, etc. 2. Disconnect the fuel connector before operating engine is stopped and before trailering. WARNING: Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious injury or death. 3. Close the air vent screw of the fuel tank and fuel cock before carrying or storing the outboard motor and fuel tank. WARNING: Fuel may leak and potentially catch fire if air vent screw and fuel cock are not closed. 4. When transporting a boat on a trailer with the outboard motor still attached, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard motor beforehand and keep the outboard motor in the normal running position or on a transom saver bar. 5. For tiller handle type: While transporting the outboard motor attached to the boat on a trailer, properly tighten the steering friction bolt to prevent the outboard motor from moving (see page 57).
