2007 Johnson 2.5 hp R4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

STORING
Horizontal transport
Drain the gasoline from the carburetor.
If you must tilt the motor to remove it from the water,
lower it and allow the cooling system to drain com-
pletely as soon as you clear the launch area.
Raise the tiller handle and rest it on a padded sur-
face on its port side. Protect the engine cover from
damage.
Between uses, store your motor in a vertical posi-
tion.
After removing the engine from the boat, position it
upright until the cooling system stops draining.
For recommendations on extended periods of stor-
age, refer to Off-Season Storage.
Keep the powerhead higher than the gearcase at all
times, or any water remaining in exhaust passages
could  travel  to  the  cylinders  and  cause  serious
damage.
CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
IMPORTANT:  Do  not  rest  the  engine  before  the
cooling  water  has  drained  completely,  as  water
may enter the cylinder through the exhaust port and
cause problems.
If you will be laying the engine down, minimize the
potential for fuel spillage by letting it run “out of gas”
before you remove it from the boat.
Make sure that the engine has stopped completely.
Turn the fuel shut off valve   forward and  close the
fuel tank vent screw.
Drain the gasoline from the carburetor by removing
the motor cover and loosening the carburetor drain
screw. Drain the gasoline into a suitable container.

IMPORTANT: Do not let the gearcase of the out-
board sit higher than the powerhead during trans-
porting   or  storing.   Water   may   drain   into   the
powerhead, causing damage to the engine.
