Never pour or spray gasoline, or any sub-
stance other than a rust inhibitor through
the hole in the carburetor silencer cover.

CAUTION:
@
G Make sure to replace the cap securely
after fogging the engine, otherwise
water could enter the engine and
cause damage.

throttle or for more than 15 seconds
while the watercraft is out of the water,
otherwise the engine may overheat
and/or seize.

well-ventilated area.

possible through the hole in the silencer
cover. Keep spraying until the engine
stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
4. Install the cap securely.

choke, and steering cables.

pressure lubricate the cables and purge out

cables.
