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 propeller.
4. Install the flushing attachment over the
cooling water inlet.

prevent the cooling system from clogging
up with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fog-
ging/lubricating of the engine is mandato-
ry to prevent excessive engine damage
due to rust. Perform the flushing and fog-
ging at the same time.
