To Install FLUSH-PRO™ Flushing System:
1.
Locate FLUSH-PRO™ such that:
• It is on the inlet side of any/all cooling system pumps.
• It is not likely to strike against objects as a result of shock or vibration.
• Connecting hoses are in-line to prevent any bending or twisting stresses on
the FLUSH-PRO™.
2.
Cut intake hose leading to engine’s impeller pump and remove 5-1/2” inches of
hose.
3.
Insert FLUSH-PRO™ valve with arrow pointing away from raw water intake
and towards engine impeller pump and tighten hose clamps. (During normal
boat use, water continues to flow through FLUSH-PRO™ to pump.)
4.
To flush engine, remove FLUSH-PRO™ cap and connect ordinary garden
hose.
5.
Water pressure from the garden hose will automatically open check valve and
begin the flushing process from the new water source.
Directions for Flushing Your Boat (Out of Water):
1.
Connect garden hose.
2.
Turn on water to 1/3 pressure.
3.
Start engine at idle.
4.
Immediately turn garden hose to full pressure.
5.
Flush for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Do not exceed 1100 RPM
.
NOTE:
If garden hose pressure is insufficient to force open small check
valve,
SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
6.
Shut off engine.
7.
Turn off garden hose.
Directions for Flushing Your Boat (In Water):
NOTE:
In order to avoid drawing raw water in addition to city water, your vessel
must be equipped with a seacock.
1.
Connect city water to FlushPro™ valve.
2.
Turn on city water.
3.
Close seacock.
4.
Start engine. You are now flushing your engine with city water, continue
flushing for 5 to 10 minutes.
Do not exceed 1100 RPM
.
5.
Shut down engine(s), and then turn off city water.
6.
Open seacock before restarting engine.
Winterizing Your Boat:
The black winterizing adapter is attached to the cap strap. Undo the strap
from the top, take the adapter, scalloped end down and insert it as far as
possible into the garden hose receptacle on the FLUSHPRO™. Cut a short
length of garden hose (with a male connector on one end). Screw the male
fitting into the garden hose adapter on the FLUSHPRO™ and placce the
other end in the anti-freeze container. The winterizing adapter will open a
small check valve inside the FLUSHPRO™ allowing the anti-freeze to be
siphoned into the cooling system once the engine is started.
Directions for Winterizing Your Boat (Out of Water):
1.
After flushing with fresh water, open all drain cocks.
2.
When all water is drained out of the engine, close drain cocks and tape shut
the water inlet on the bottom of the boat.
3.
Insert adapter into garden hose connection on the top of the valve.
4.
Using a 5 gallon bucket, mix applicable amount of anti-freeze and water
(See anti-freeze directions for temperatures and appropriate amounts of
anti-freeze and water mixture).
5.
Place end of hose into bucket of anti-freeze mixture.
6.
Start engine,
Do not exceed 1100 RPM
. Allow engine to draw all anti-
freeze solution into engine. Immediately shut off engine to prevent loss of
anti-freeze from exhaust.
7.
Remove tape from intake and garden hose from valve.
Directions for Winterizing Your Boat (In Slip):
1.
After flushing process is complete, remove adapter from FlushPro™ cap
strap and insert adapter into FlushPro™ valve.
2.
Using a piece of garden hose, place male end of hose into FlushPro™
valve and place the other end into applicable amount of bio-degradable
anti-freeze mixture bucket, container etc. (approximately 5 to 10 gallons).
3.
Open all pet cocks and drain engine block and water cooled headers. If pet
cocks are plugged, use a small nail to unclog openings. When all the water
has drained out, close all pet cocks and replace any plugs you have
removed.
4.
Start engine(s) and your sea water pump will automatically pump anti-
freeze from the bucket into your engine and headers.
Do not exceed 1100
RPM.
When the bucket is empty
Immediately
shut down engine(s). You are
now winterized.
NOTE:
Close loop system for flushing heat exchangers only.
NOTE:
Before using vessel again you must open your seacock(s).
