Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner

other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.

Install the flushing attachment over the

Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clog-
ging up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addi-
tion, fogging/lubricating of the engine is
mandatory to prevent excessive engine
damage due to rust. Perform the flush-
ing and fogging at the same time.
