Stopping for a long period of storage.
If you will not use the motor for several days, you should stop the engine in
the following way:
Run the engine at idling speed, place the gear-shift lever in the neutral
position "N" and keep the choke knob pulled until the engine stops.
CLEANING
Cleaning outside
SELVA motors don't need much cleaning; to clean the painted parts use a
cloth soaked with water.
Do not use flammable solvents.
Cleaning cooling-water passages
Every now and then after using, clean the cooling-water passages, in
order to remove mud and salt, so that they do not affect the performance
of your motor.
You can carry out this cleaning operation in two different ways:
1 - Immerse the outboard motor without the propeller in a tank
filled up with fresh-water, make sure that the water level is over the height
of the water inlets, so that no irreparable damage could be caused to the
motor. Shift the gear-shift lever into neutral " N ". Start the engine and run
at low speed for a few minutes.
2 - Connect a pipe of fresh-water to the hole for the engine cleaning joint
plug ( use the proper joint available in the fittings series ). Stop the water
inlets. Shift the gear-shift lever into neutral. Start the engine and run at low
speed for a few minutes.
While cleaning the cooling water passages make sure that
water always circulates in the passages, checking its running
out of the pilot hole.
