Washing with fresh water
When the engine has been used in
salt water or polluted water, wash the
exterior and flush the cooling passage
with fresh water using the flushing
attachment.
Screw the included flushing attachment
into the wash hole on the gear case.
Connect a water hose to the flushing
attachment and flush out with water.
( Be sure to secure the water inlet
and sub-water inlet on the gear case
beforehand.)
Wash the engine before long-term
storage.
Run the engine at low speed with the
Remote Control lever (or Shift lever)
set to Neutral to flush out fresh water
from the cooling system and in the
process remove salt, mud and other
foreign particles.
!
WARNING
Never start or operate the engine
indoors or in any space which is not
well ventilated. Exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas which can be fatal if
inhaled for any length of time.
Keep engine at idle speed during flushing.
!
CAUTION
!
WARNING
Do not start engine without removing
propeller, or accidentally turning
propeller could cause personal injury.
Keep cooling water passage free of
clogs, or lack of cooling water flow
could lead to engine overheating,
potentially resulting in engine trouble.
!
CAUTION
Notes
It is recommended to check chemical
properties of water on which your
outboard motor is regularly used.
