Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] In this Owner's Manual particularly important information is distinguished in the following ways.
cC
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the outboard motor. NOTE: A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer. * Yamaha continually seeks advancements in product design and quality. Therefore, while this manual contains the most current product information available at the time of printing, there may be minor discrepancies between your machine and this manual. [. . . ] Never tilt the motor while the engine is running. Severe damage from overheating can result.
w
Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if the engine will be tilted for more than a few minutes. (If the fuel connector is provided on the motor. )

PROCEDURE FOR TILTING UP
Power trim/tilt model 1) If there is a fuel joint or a fuel cock on the boat, disconnect the fuel line or close the fuel cock. Push the power trim/tilt switch "UP" until the outboard has tilted up completely.

3)
Turn the tilt-support lever toward you and support the engine.
w
After tilting the engine, be sure to support it with the tilt-support lever. Otherwise, the engine could fall back down suddenly if oil in the power trim/tilt unit should lose pressure.

4)
Once the engine is supported with the tilt-support lever, push the power trim/tilt switch DOWN to retract the trim rods.
cC
Be sure to retract the trim rods completely during mooring. This protects the rods from marine growths and corrosion which could damage the power trim/tilt mechanism. 3-22

CRUISING IN OTHER CONDITIONS
CRUISING IN SALT WATER
After operating in salt water, wash out the cooling-water passages with fresh water to prevent them from becoming cloggedup with salt deposits NOTE Refer to cooling system flushing instructions in TRANSPORTING AND STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR.
CRUISING IN TURBID WATER
It is strongly recommended that the optional chromium-plated water-pump kit be installed if the outboard is to be used in turbid (muddy) water conditions.

TRANSPORTING AND STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR w
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. When transporting and storing the outboard motor, close the air vent screw and fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking.
000891
TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR
The motor should be trailered and stored in the normal running position. If there is insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the motor in the tilt position using a motor support device such as a transom saver bar.
cC
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob when trailering the boat. Just prior to turning off the engine, quickly spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil" (Part No. LUBSTRRT-12-00) alternately into each intake manifold. When properly done, the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall. Remove the flushing attachment and wipe off any excess water. Install the silencer cover and top cowling. Install the propeller.

Lubrication 1) Remove the spark plugs, and spray a 5 second spray of "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil" into each cylinder. Grease the spark plug threads and reinstall the spark plugs and torque to proper specification. (Refer to "CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG". ) 2) Turn the engine over with the stop lanyard disconnected to work the fogging oil into the piston rings. This prevents the formation of condensation. For models with a remote tank, it may be necessary to manually override the control unit to completely fill the engine main tank. (Refer to "CHANGING GEAR OIL").
