CAUTION:
To prevent problems which can be
G
caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the outboard motor in
the attitude shown when transporting
and storing it. If storing or transporting
the outboard motor on its side (not up-
right), put it on a cushion after draining
the engine oil.
Do not place the outboard motor on its
G
side before the cooling water has
drained from it completely, otherwise
water may enter the cylinder through
the exhaust port and cause engine trou-
ble.
Store the outboard motor in a dry, well-
G
ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.

Flushing with the flushing attachment
1. Wash the outboard motor body using
fresh water. For further information, see
page 47.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of "Yamaha Fuel Conditioner
and Stabilizer" (Part No. LUB-FUELC-
12-00) to each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The 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.
3. Remove the top cowling and silencer
cover/cap. Remove the propeller.
4. Install the flushing attachment over the
cooling water inlet.

Before starting the engine, be sure to
supply water to the cooling water passag-
es.

CAUTION:
Avoid running the outboard motor at high
speed while on the flushing attachment,
otherwise overheating could occur.
1. Flushing attachment
5. 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.
