(3) Make sure that the area around the wa-
tercraft is clear, and then start the engine
in a well-ventilated area.
(4) Run the engine at a fast idle.
(5) Quickly spray as much rust inhibitor as
possible through the hole in the silencer
cover. Keep spraying until the engine
stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
WARNING! Do not pour or spray gaso-
line, or any substance other than a
rust inhibitor through the hole in the
silencer cover. Do not spray flamma-
ble rust inhibitor products on engine
surfaces while the engine is hot. Oth-
erwise, a fire or explosion could oc-
cur.

(6) Securely install the silencer cap by tight-
ening it until it stops. NOTICE: Be sure
to install the silencer cap securely af-
ter fogging the engine, otherwise wa-
ter could enter the engine and cause
damage.
