as follows after confirming the engine is
cool.
• Remove the seat ( page 117 ).

equivalent) into joint hole A for 5
seconds. Refer to the illustration of

Reconnect the maintenance joint and
make sure it tightened securely.
Avoid running the engine without water flow

engine and exhaust system damage.
