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 vessel 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.

MAINTENANCE
Before doing any kind of maintenance or check operation, switch off the
engine and wait till it has cooled down, then remove the spark plug cap, in
order to avoid an accidental staring.
Pay attention to the motor parts, which are still hot, so that you do not burn
yourself.
Some maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified staff.
