FLUSHING THE WATER
PASSAGES
After operation in muddy, brackish, or salt
water, you should flush the water passages and
motor surface with clean, fresh water.
If you do not flush the water passages, salt can
corrode the motor and shorten its life. Flush the
water passages as follows.
ENGINE RUNNING – Vertical position –
Suzuki recommends that you flush the water
passage by using this method.
To flush the water passages, you must obtain a
commercially available engine flush device.

WARNING
• Never start the engine or let it run
indoors or where there is little or no
ventilation. Exhaust gas contains car-
bon monoxide, a gas that is colorless
and odorless and can cause death or
severe injury.
• Make sure the engine remains in NEU-
TRAL while flushing out the water pas-
sages. If shifted into gear, the propeller
shaft will turn, possibly resulting in
personal injury.
• Make sure the motor is properly
clamped to a secure stand or boat and
remain in attendance until flushing is
completed.
• Keep children and pets away from the
area, and stay clear of all moving parts
during this procedure.
CAUTION
Never start the motor without supplying
water to the cooling system as water
pump damage could result in as little as
15 seconds. Severe engine damage could
result from no water supply.
1. Install the flushing attachment
1
so that the
water intake holes are covered by the rubber
cups on the attachment.
2. Connect a garden hose to the flushing
attachment and turn on the water to obtain
enough flow so that plenty of excess water is
flowing out from around the rubber cups on
the attachment.
3. Place the remote control lever in the “NEU-
TRAL” position with the propeller removed
and start the motor. As soon as the engine
starts, water should spray out of the pilot
water hole
2
, indicating proper water pump
operation. If no water spray is evident, stop
the motor immediately and consult your
dealer.
4. Allow the engine to run only at idle speed
while flushing. Readjust the water flow, if
necessary, so that there is still plenty of
excess water flowing out from around the
rubber cups.
5. Allow the water to continue circulating for a
few minutes.
6. Stop the motor, then turn off the water.
7. Remove the flushing attachment from the
water intake hole.
