INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Washing with fresh water
When the engine has been used in
salt water or polluted water, wash the
exterior and flush the cooling passage
with fresh water using the flushing
attachment.
Screw the included flushing attachment
into the wash hole on the gear case.
Connect a water hose to the flushing
attachment and flush out with water.
( Be sure to secure the water inlet
and sub-water inlet on the gear case
beforehand.)
!
Keep cooling water passage free of
clogs, or lack of cooling water flow
could lead to engine overheating,
potentially resulting in engine trouble.
!
Do not start engine without removing
propeller, or accidentally turning
propeller could cause personal injury.

indoors or in any space which is not
