Maintenance And Care; Storage; Cooling System Flushing - Yamaha EXCTER220 Owner's Manual

STORAGE

Storing your Jet Boat for prolonged
periods of time, such as winter storage,
requires preventative maintenance to
ensure against deterioration. It is
advisable to have the Jet Boat serviced
by an authorized Yamaha Jet Boat
dealer before storage. However, the fol-
lowing procedures can be performed
by the owner with a minimum of tools.
FUEL SYSTEM
Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel,
adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer (Part No.
LUB-FUELC-12-00) or an equivalent to
each gallon of fuel. A full fuel tank is
less likely to allow condensation to col-
lect in the tank, reducing the chance of
contaminated fuel.
engines with treated fuel during cooling
system flushing will also help protect
carburetors and fuel lines.
_________________
NOTE:
Use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain
the fuel system. Consult your Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic if
the fuel system is to be drained
instead.

COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING

➂
1 Flush Hose Connector
2 Garden Hose Adapter
3 Cap
Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clog-
ging up with salt, sand, or dirt.
1. Open the cap for the engine you are
going to flush. Press the flush kit
garden hose adapter into the flush
hose connector and turn until they
are securely connected.
2. Start the engine, then immediately
turn on the water supply fully.

could flow back through the muf-
fler into the crankcase causing
severe engine damage.
● Be sure to turn on the water
immediately after starting the
engine to prevent engine over-
heating.
3. Run the engine at a fast idle for
10~15 minutes.
