WARNING
：
Do not leave the water pipe connector loose on the bottom cowling water pipe plug or let the
pipe hang free during normal operation. Water will leak out of the connector instead of cooling
the engine, which can cause serious overheating. Be sure the connector is tightened securely
on the pipe plug after flushing the engine.
