  1. Store the motor in an upright position in a dry, well-ventilated area. Select an area with constant temperature to avoid corrosion caused by condensation. Do not store next to furnaces, heaters, etc.

When the engine is running. keep your hands. hair. clothing, etc., away from the engine.

BATTERY STORAGE
1 . When the outboard motor will not be used for a month or longer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dark place. Do not set battery on concrete or earth, as this will accelerate loss of charge.
2. Wash the casing and terminals using fresh water only, then dry with clean cloth.
3. Fully charge the battery. If the battery will be stored for a long period of time, check the specific gravity of the fluid at least once a month and recharge the battery when the charge is low.

• Explosive vapors are produced by batteries. Do not smoke and keep battery away from open flames an sparks. To avoid creating a spark when charging the battery, connect the battery charger cables to the proper terminals before turning the battery charger on.
• Handle the battery with extreme care: avoid skin contact with electrolyte. Wear proper protective clothing (Safety glasses, gloves, etc.)
