rubber cups covering the water intake
opening. The attachment must be
installed from the front of the lower
casing.
2) Connect a garden hose between the
flushing attachment and the water
tap.
3) Shift into “NEUTRAL”, and start the
engine while supplying water, then
keep it running at low speed for a few
minutes.

or the engine will overheat. Before start-
ing the engine, be sure to install the
flushing attachment and feed water.

others away from the propeller shaft.
