Temporarily install a short piece of hose to engine
water outlet at cylinder head.

with water in engine until the colored solution ap-
pears in the engine drain hose.

water return hose.

All Models
Most of the antifreeze will drain out when remov-
ing hose pincher(s). Use a container to recover it.
Dispose of antifreeze as per your local laws and
regulations.
NOTE: Although antifreeze will mainly drain out,
the antifreeze has mixed with the water that was
possibly trapped in the cylinder water jackets and
thus preventing freezing problems.
At pre-season preparation, drain the remaining an-
tifreeze from cooling system prior using the wa-
tercraft.
