1.
Fit the water hose connector
(supplied loose with the boat) to
a hose pipe. Connect the hose
pipe, from a fresh water tap, to
the hose connector in the
engine compartment.
2.
Start the engine first, then
immediately afterwards turn on
the fresh water supply.
CAUTION
Never turn on the water supply before starting the engine. The
water could back flow through the muffler into the crankcase
causing severe engine damage.
Be sure to turn on the water supply immediately after starting
the engine to prevent the engine overheating.
•
Run the engine at a fast idle for 10-15 minutes.
•
Turn off the water supply and force the remaining water out of the cooling system
by quickly opening and closing the throttle several times for 10-15 seconds.
•
After stopping the engine, disconnect the hose at the engine compartment. This is
done, by pulling back the outer sleeve on the hose connector.
CAUTION
THE WATER MUST NEVER BE ON IF THE ENGINE IS NOT
RUNNING.
Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds after the water
supply has been turned off, to avoid engine overheating.
LUBRICATION
•
This is only required if the boat is to be stored away for a few months.
•
Open the cap on the carburettor silencer cover.
•
With the boat in a well-ventilated area, start the engine.
•
With the engine running at a fast idle, quickly spray as much rust inhibitor, or
equivalent, as possible into the carburettor through the hole in the silencer cover.
This is best achieved with a thin tube attachment to the spray can. Keep spraying
until the engine stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
•
Reinstall the cap securely.
•
When restarting the boat, at a later date, the oil in the engine will produce an
abnormal amount of exhaust fumes until it has been burnt off by the engine.
