CLEANING COOLING-WATER PAS-
SAGES

tion for the most thorough flushing.

from
the fitting

on the bottom cowling.
2) Screw the garden-hose connector

onto a garden hose

which is con-
nected to a fresh-water supply.
3) With the engine off, turn on the water
tap and let the water flush through
the cooling passages for about 15
minutes. Turn off the water and dis-
connect the garden hose

.
4) When flushing is complete, reinstall

Tighten the connector securely.

Do not leave the garden-hose connector
loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let
the hose hang free during normal opera-
tion. Water will leak out of the connector
instead of cooling the engine, which can
cause serious overheating. Be sure the
connector is tightened securely on the fit-
ting after flushing the engine.
